Tip Savers: An Alternative to Traditional Charity Shops
At Tip Savers, we collect from your home and pay cash for unwanted items in Leamington Spa and the surrounding areas. We also offer the option to donate your payment to a charity of your choice, giving you the flexibility to declutter while supporting causes that matter to you.
Get Paid or Donate the Value of Your Items
Unlike most charity shops, Tip Savers offers you cash for the items you no longer need. Prefer to give back? No problem—you can choose for us to donate the monetary value of your items to a charity of your choice. It’s a flexible, feel-good solution that supports both you and causes you care about.
We Refurbish What Others Can’t
Unlike traditional charity shops with limited repair capabilities, Tip Savers specialises in giving unwanted items a second life through repair, refurbishment, repurposing, or recycling. We accept items others often turn away: furniture needing TLC, non-working electronics, lighting requiring rewiring, and more. Our goal is to keep items out of landfill while still benefiting your chosen charity or someone in need.
What We Collect
Charity shops are fantastic, but they often have strict donation policies. Tip Savers accepts a wider variety of items, including those most charity shops can’t take:
- Electronics – Working or non-working, we repair or responsibly strip them for parts.
- Lighting including desk lamps, wall lights and ceiling lights.
- Furniture depending on size
- Most household items with reuse potential
