Do I send my toiletries to Toiletries Amnesty?
No, please don’t send them to us! Our goal is to help you find the best place to send your toiletries through our directory.
I can’t find anywhere near me to give my toiletries, what can I do?
You can send them to another organisation in our directory, just check their information for delivery details.
Do you take out of date products?
This will depend on the type of product, and who you want to give it to. Check with the individual organisation to see if they are able to accept these items – you can find their contact details by searching on our directory.
Can I give opened or part-used items?
Yes, you can! Part-used toiletries are items that you have used only a few times and remain mostly full or have a good amount left to be useful. Please note that we can’t accept razors or toothbrushes that have been used.
Can I give miniatures, travel-size products or hotel freebies?
Absolutely! These are great for everyone, and especially useful for homeless shelters and hostels where they can give them to individuals who drop in for showers.
What items are not allowed?
Please be aware that we’re unable to accept medications, health supplements and vitamins, or weight loss products. We can’t accept razors, toothbrushes or other hygiene products that have been used.
I work for a company that makes or sells toiletries. How can we get involved?
If you would like support with your CSR goals, give large quantities of products, or want to talk about repurposing your returned stock or surplus, please get in touch.
I work for a company that makes toiletries, can you help us dispose of excess products?
Yes, we can help you keep products out of landfill, and do something positive with them. We operate as a structured redistribution partner for the circular economy, creating positive and practical solutions for beauty industry waste and sustainability goals. If you’d like to know more, please get in touch.
I don’t have any toiletries to give. How can I help?
We welcome financial support via our PayPal giving page. Every pound you give goes a long way, and we appreciate it. If you’d like to hold a fundraising event please get in touch and let us know!
Can I use your logo on my blog, website, products, etc.?
Please don’t use our logo, or state that we are partners without our consent.
Do organisations need to pay anything to receive products?
It’s free to list your organisation on our directory, and products are provided at no cost to the organisation receiving them.
I want to add an organisation to the directory. How do I do this?
If you work for the organisation you can register for a free account here.
If you know of an organisation that you think would benefit from being a member of our directory, please let them know so that they can sign up. For many reasons, including data protection, we can only accept registrations directly from organisations.
Can I sign my organisation up and ask for items for prizes and giveaways?
No, that’s not what we’re here for. Toiletries Amnesty sets out to help share good things with people who need them and are living in hygiene poverty. We can’t help you with gift sets for your giveaway or offer you any items to sell, raffle or auction.
How will my organisation receive toiletries?
Toiletries will come from individuals and businesses in your local area who use the directory to find organisations to support. Occasionally we receive very large quantities of items and have to split them over multiple locations – when this happens we’ll be in touch by email. Most items are sent or delivered directly to your organisation, keeping things efficient and helping toiletries reach people quickly.
We’re getting too many toiletries. Can I hide my organisation from the directory for a while?
Yes. You can do this by logging into your account, going to your member dashboard, selecting you listing and temporarily hiding it. When you’re ready to start accepting toiletries again, simply go back to the listing and select ‘show’!
I am part of an organisation that wants to be removed from the directory. How do we do this?
If you’d like to be removed permanently please speak to the person in your organisation who registered for the account and ask them first, if this is not possible please email us giving us your details and contact information so we can help you.
I’m struggling to afford toiletries, will you send me something?
We’re sorry we can’t provide toiletries to individuals. Please use our directory to find your nearest organisation that may be able to offer support.
I’m a journalist and would like to speak to you, is this possible?
Please send us an email, we’re always grateful for any opportunity to share Toiletries Amnesty with a wider audience and can supply quotes, stats and images too.
