Clothing is collected using three collection systems:

Door-to-door collection: this involves the traditional plastic bag, in an envelope. On this envelope the date of collection is printed. On that specific day, our labourers will collect all the bags that people can put outside at the door.

Depots: this usually concerns colleagues/volunteers from the collecting organisation who provide an area where one can bring one's clothing. When the space is full the organisation comes to collect the clothing. Some depots also function as information centres for the organisation, or contribute to the name familiarity of the collector.

Collection containers: the containers are made of metal. The sizes are usually approximately the following: 120 x 120 x 210 cm. They are provided with a flap through which the clothes are thrown in and a locked emptying door. The maximum capacity of a container is around 300 kg. These containers are usually put in public places (near a large supermarket, near the church, the town hall, a civic amenity site, etc.).
