Clothing collection, Laffak. Beware!!

This leaflet is being delivered this morning to houses in the Laffak area of the ward. Please be aware that the company behind the leaflet, which asks you to leave out unwanted clothes for collection this coming Thursday, is not a charity. It is Recycling Port Ltd, which Companies House confirms here has never filed any accounts and was only incorporated in March 2006.

Not only that, but Recycling Port Ltd does not inform Companies House of the nature of its business. The nature of Recycling Port's business is that it collects your unwanted clothes and then sells them on for its own gain. If you have an any unwanted clothes, we would urge you to give only to registered charities. If you have any doubts about whether a collection is being made on behalf of a charity, please contact the Charity Commission's helpline on 0870 333 0123.
