Recycle and raise money with the Together Trust
If you have unused clothes, accessories or tech laying around at home, why not donate them and raise money for our life-changing services across Greater Manchester?
Save items from the landfill and use sustainable fundraising to change lives in your community!
Ways to recycle with us…
Donate unwanted clothing
Donate unwanted clothes and shoes any time of the year with our NEW clothes bin located at our central offices in Cheadle.

Declutter and donate
Our declutter and donate events take place every last Monday of the month throughout the year.
Donate any preloved or new items that have been cluttering up your wardrobes, drawers or cupboards – all items donated are then weighed and collected by Clothes4Collection under their fabric recycling scheme.
Donate unwanted tech
Declutter your kitchen drawers and donate old phones, consoles and laptops.
It’s a great way to raise money for charity as part of Recycling for Good Causes.
Plastic lid collection
Donate clean plastic lids to create beautiful art pieces / murals with local CIC Plastic Shed. Donation stations are located in our Inscape House School to incorporate recycling and sustainability into our students’ workplace.
We will also be collecting lids at our regular Declutter and Donate events so please feel free to bring these along.
Shop with us
Help us recycle by shopping with us. Our online retail platforms are a great way to support sustainable fashion as well as nabbing a bargain or two!
Keep an eye out for exclusive new merch for 2026, incorporating designs from our students – soon to be released…!
Corporate recycling scheme
We’re looking to local and national businesses to help us with two of our recycling initiatives.
Donate surplus stock and support our online retail platforms and Pop Up Shops
We’re on the lookout for good quality clothes and accessories to support our retail initiatives.
Donate old unwanted tech
Upgraded your team’s tech recently or have an abundance of unused company phones? We can help you recycle these and raise money for our charity.

What happens to the items I donate?
At our Declutter and Donate events, we invite members of the public to donate clothing and soft toys in varying conditions to the fundraising team.
We then sort through all donations and separate out the items that are in saleable condition – this includes items that still have tags on and items that are in nearly new / very good condition. These are then listed over time on our online shops and taken to in person events or pop-up shops.
Anything remaining that isn’t in a saleable condition will be donated to our red clothing bin and collected by our collection company, Clothes4Collection. All clothes donated are recycled to textile companies to recycle fabrics and improve our eco footprint by preventing as much as possible from going to landfill.
