@Si___ You can't. It's hard to explain so I will give you example situations instead.
(1) There are heaps of trash scattered across the beach. Pimchan volunteered to be part of her local community's Beach Clean-up Committee, so she must collect the trash and keep the beach clean.
(2) Pimchan is a fan of detective fiction book covers. She collects detective fiction books as a hobby, but never actually reads them.
(3) Pimchan Phulotwat is a loan shark. She enjoys lending her money to silly, desperate people and then terrorizing them when they fail to pay their debt. When it is time to collect debtors' money, Pimchan always brings an army of scary men to intimidate them into selling their souls to her. Because of this, Pimchan has been nicknamed "The Greedy Old Hag."

@maelancholy Thank you so much.So it means like you keep something more and more. Collect stamps, collect money, collect books.
It doesn't sound right if I use in the way like pick up someone at a place. Am I correct?
