The Red Nose Clothing Collection and Recycling Program (RNCC) is a social enterprise run by Red Nose. We collect donations of pre-loved clothes and household goods to generate funds. Every dollar we make is invested back into our programs to support families and save little lives.

RNCC operates in VIC and SA and we are rapidly expanding in NSW. The Red Nose clothing collections team are a genuinely passionate bunch of people who care deeply about reducing waste to landfill, the re-use of preloved items, responsible recycling and supporting local communities to enable easy donating of goods.
