**Charity clothing banks where people can donate unwanted clothes don’t clean themselves.
Dorset-based MDRC Group are one group that maintains and cleans these items and 
it has recently expanded its work with charities.**

The Mobile Maintenance division of MDRC Group has won more contracts to maintain
charity clothing collection banks across southern England. It is now ensuring that
clothing banks operated for Oxfam and the Salvation Army are kept clean and presentable
to encourage the public to donate.

Martin Izzard, MDRC’S Mobile Maintenance Director, says that their van-based teams
are currently surveying and providing their service to 328 Salvation Army banks 
in Hampshire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset. Overall the company refurbishes and
repairs over 50,000 commercial waste containers for local authorities, waste management
companies, and housing associations.
