Clothing Donation Programme
At Royal De Gruijter & Co., we believe that doing the right thing matters. By supporting local communities, reducing waste, and investing in sustainable initiatives, we aim to make a positive contribution to people, the environment, and the communities we serve.
Are You Moving with Royal De Gruijter & Co.?
During your move, you can easily donate clothing and household textiles to Kledingbank Groene Hart. We will collect your donations and deliver them to Kledingbank Groene Hart, where the clothing and textiles are sorted and suitable items are given a meaningful second life.
By donating clothing and textiles you no longer need, you give them a second life while also supporting people in the local community.
What Can You Donate?
We welcome donations of:
- Clothing for babies, children, women and men
- Shoes
- Bags
- Towels
- Bed linen
- Duvet covers and bed sheets (excluding duvets)
- Jewellery and accessories
Please ensure all donated items are clean, in good condition, and packed in sealed plastic bags.
How Does It Work?
- Collect the clothing and textiles you would like to donate.
- Pack the items in sealed plastic bags.
- Inform your Move Coordinator or moving crew that you would like to make a donation.
- We collect the donations during your move.
- We deliver the donations to Kledingbank Groene Hart.
It really is that simple.
Why Are We Doing This?
At Royal De Gruijter & Co., we believe that every move presents an opportunity to support local communities, give items a second life, and in doing so help reduce waste.
Through our partnership with Kledingbank Groene Hart, we help give unwanted clothing and household textiles a meaningful second life.
Sustainability is about more than environmental responsibility. It is also about supporting the communities in which we operate and helping people where we can.
Sustainability in International Moving
At Royal De Gruijter & Co., sustainability extends beyond our clothing donation programme.
As an international moving and relocation specialist, we continuously look for ways to reduce our environmental impact through responsible transport planning, the reuse of packing materials, waste reduction initiatives, and sustainable moving practices.
By combining environmental responsibility with community support programmes, we aim to make every move a positive contribution to both people and the environment.
Together We Make a Difference
Royal De Gruijter & Co. proudly partners with Kledingbank Groene Hart in Alphen aan den Rijn.
This charitable organisation supports families and residents with limited financial resources by providing free clothing through its unique concept of a “fashion store without a cash register.”
As part of our CSR commitment, we collect and transport clothing donations on behalf of our customers. We also contribute in a practical way. Once a year, a number of our employees spend an afternoon volunteering at Kledingbank Groene Hart, for example by helping to sort donated clothing.
By working together, we support people in the local community, give clothing and textiles a second life, and help reduce waste.
Why This Matters
Every year, large quantities of perfectly usable clothing and textiles are discarded.
By participating in this programme:
- Valuable resources remain in circulation
- Textile waste is reduced
- Local families receive practical support
- Together we contribute to a more sustainable society
A move can become more than a fresh start for you. It can also create a new beginning for someone else.
