CROCS review

Researched for Recycling services in Telford

Unknown

40 Heath Hill Industrial Estate, Telford, Shropshire, TF4 2RH · Service area: Telford

CROCS in short

CROCS, previously Cash for Clothes, buys unwanted clothing for recycling or reuse from its Heath Hill shop in Dawley, with items weighed on the shop's scales. Newly tagged pieces earn the top rate with used clothing below it. A directory page publishes per-kilo buying rates for the textile service at the same address. If you have bags of wearable clothes, this review finds it the cash option.

Customers rate CROCS spotlessly, with five stars on Google across a modest set of reviews. What counts against it is formal: no carrier listing appears on the Environment Agency register, and there is no company record or business website of its own. Phone-only contact through the listing is the trade-off for the rates, and that keeps it outside the ranked table.

Questions about CROCS

Is CROCS any good?

On the evidence, yes for cash for clothes: it pays per-kilo rates for wearable clothing at its Dawley shop and holds a spotless Google record. It suits anyone with bags of wearable clothes rather than mixed waste. Weigh your bags and check the accepted list before you go.

Is CROCS a registered waste carrier?

No waste carrier listing could be found for it on the Environment Agency register searched in September. That is why it sits outside our ranked table rather than inside it. Ask at the counter about their paperwork before you hand over anything beyond clothes.

What does CROCS charge?

It pays you rather than the other way round: the directory page publishes per-kilo buying rates of up to £1.00 for newly tagged items and £0.45 for used clothing. Rates move with condition, so sort tagged pieces from used before weighing. Ask for the day's rate at the scales.

Where is CROCS?

The shop sits at Heath Hill in Dawley and serves walk-in sellers from Telford. There is no business website, so the phone listing is the contact route. Call ahead with what you have before making the trip to avoid a wasted journey.

How is CROCS ranked?

It is researched but not assessed: without a carrier listing on the register it cannot enter the ranked table, whatever its reviews say. Cash-for-clothes buyers and council tips play by different rules from clearance firms. Read the full review, then weigh the bags.
