Are you getting ready to clear out the toys your children have outgrown?
Don’t throw them away.
Send them to us, and we’ll find them a new home!
At Don’t Bin The Bear, we collect toys that are just taking up space in your house and give them a second life
—either for symbolic price or for free.
Toys are meant to bring joy to children. We know how expensive it is to keep buying new ones, and we also know how quickly kids move on from things they once loved. Instead of letting them gather dust under the bed or end up in a bin, we’ve created a simple way to put them back into circulation.
You could spend time photographing and listing them on online marketplaces, but we know not everyone has the energy for that. Our mission is to offer a stress-free way to clear your space and perhaps find “new” toys for your kids at the same time. We aren’t a traditional charity or a big business; we are a community project focused on sustainability. We want to keep toys out of incinerators and back in the hands of children.
How to Send a Parcel
We use InPost, making it incredibly easy for you to donate:
Find your nearest InPost box on the map.
Fill out our Donation Form on the website with your details and parcel size.
Receive your QR code. We’ll email you a unique code—no need to print labels or write addresses.
Drop and go. Scan the code at the locker, pop the parcel in, and you’re done!
A small request: Each parcel sent this way costs the project up to £5. To help us stay sustainable, please try to pack as many items as possible into one box. We trust our donors—if it’s for kids, we’ll find a use for it! If you have a massive amount of toys, let us know via the form, and we can arrange a courier (like ParcelForce) to collect directly from your door.
Personal Delivery or
Shipping at Your Own Cost
If you prefer to send a parcel yourself or drop it off in person, you can send it to our address:
Ivan Stloukal, Don’t Bin The Bear, 33 Loweswater Road, GL51 3AZ Cheltenham.
(Please mark the delivery box “DBTB” and contact us at info@dbtb.co.uk before dropping items off in person).

Buying from us is just like any other online shop, but with a twist. Our shop at www.dbtb.co.uk operates on a “Price Drop” model:
Everything starts at £4.
Prices gradually drop over time all the way to zero (because our warehouse isn’t bottomless!).
