**Fundraising recycling company Bag2School is warning that other operators are claiming
fraudulently to be collecting donated clothing on behalf of Bag2School.**

North Yorkshire-based Back2School has warned the schools, nurseries, colleges, Scouts
and Guides groups that it helps fundraise for that “some unscrupulous operators 
are illegally purporting to be B2S.”

It advises them to that “if you have not arranged a collection through our call 
centre on either 0870 242 1212 or 01609 780222” and/or “if you did not receive a
computer generated cheque + certificate” then they have not been dealing with the
legitimate Bag2School.

Bag2school collects donated good quality second hand clothing which it sells on 
to wholesalers in Russia, Latvia & Lithuania where the clothes are then sold for
individual use. It pays the charities and organisations who provide the donated 
items on a per kilo basis.

According to its website, Cottenham Primary School in Cambridge has raised the most
so far, at £1,020.
