*GOOD NEWS! Jagex has released the Charming Imp, which will pick up the charms for you!
The Charming Imp is a dungeoneering reward which you can buy.
It requires level 21 summoning and 21 dungeoneering to buy, and a total of 100k reward tokens
Collecting charms
Charms for summoning can be obtained in endless amount of ways. Here are just some common methods that players use.
Bonfire firemaking training:
Simply add logs to an existing fire. You will gain fm xp along with the occasional flame spirit who will give you charms as a reward. The type varies.
Familiarisation:
Do this distraction&diversion to get triple charm drops for about 40 minutes.
To do this, find an obelisk which is sparkling, or simply use a telescope at your house or a friends to see where the obelisk is. It is a different location for every world.
Bork:
Kill bork once a day to get charms. The guaranteed charm drops are as follows: 5 blue, 7 crimson and 2 green charms.
If Wearing a Ring of wealth: adds 5 blue, 10 crimson, 3 green.
If all varrock tasks completed: 10 blue, 14 crimson, 4 green.
Slayer
Doing slayer tasks daily, do give alot of charms as well. ;)
Lamps
Feel free to use quest reward lamps, sof lamps, and other items for summoning experience.
Gold Charms
Gold charms are usually for players that are a low level. Primarily because some think gold charms are considered junk and not worth picking up.
These drop frequently when killing:
Rock crabs (level 13) - These can drop up to 15 gold charms per minute. Located in north rellekka. Dwarf cannon is useful for low levelled players. Others can melee easily.
Moss Giants (level 42)- These have a higher drop rate of gold charms than rock crabs. Can be found in varrock sewers/resource dungeon. Can be meleed easily.
Ice Giants (level 57)- Even a higher drop rate of gold than Moss. Low defence as well, very simple to kill. Located in Asgarnia dungeon/near mudskipper point. Very weak to melee styles.
Giant Rock Crabs(level 137) - They drop 3 gold charms at a time, and are weak to magic based spells. Located in the Chaos tunnels. Can be good for bursting/barraging.

Green charms

Cave Bugs (level 96) - These are located in the chaos tunnels, and drop frequent green charms.
Bloodvelds (level 76/81) - Located in the slayer tower. These can be ranged since there are safespots at the tower. They can also be fought by rapier or a whip. Make sure to wear dragonhide armour when fighting them.
Mithril Dragons (level 304) - These are located in the ancient cavern. They can be fairly killed by magic, specifically polypore if the player has the correct stats and food. They can also be meleed, if the player has overloads, turmoil, super antifires, and a high healing familiar. They Drop 4 at a time.
Steel dragons (level 246) - These are located in the Brimhaven dungeon. They are weak to magic, particularly polypore and fire wave spells. They can also be meleed by higher level players who can afford overloads, super antifires, and rapier. These Drop 3 at a time.
Iron Dragons (level 189) - These are also located in the Brimhaven dungeon. They are weak to magic, particularly polypore and fire wave spells. They can also be meleed by higher level players who can afford overloads, super antifires, and rapier. These Drop 2 at a time.


Crimson Charms
Note: These are considered the best charms for summoning ;)
Black Demons (level 172) -
These are located in the taverly dungeon, the chaos tunnels and the resource dungeon in the chaos tunnels.
These can be easily killed by a rapier. You can also use a dwarf cannon for quick charms, but the cannon can only be used in the taverly dungeon.
Waterfiends (115/134) - Probably the most common monster killed for crimson charms. These beauty's are located in the ancient cavern, accessible by the fairy ring code BJQ. These can be killed easily with crush weapons, such as goliath gloves, Chaotic Maul, zamorakian spear, Saradomin Sword. They frequently drop noted water orbs, sea weed, mithril ore, and snape grass, as well as rune helms.
They are also located in the chaos tunnels.
Rock lobsters (level 156)- Also commonly killed for their crimson charms. These are usually barraged/ice bursted. With the proper mage gear and enough money for runes, these can give you around 150-250 crimson charms per hour. Note that there might be crashers who may come to your world. You might have to regroup them once they get non agressive. An almost full inventory of prayer renewals/super prayers, can lost a LONG amount of hours here.
Glacors (level 475) - These drop a good amount of crimson and blue charms. People usually kill these for their rare boot drops (steadfast, glavien, ragefire). A very recommended way to kill these are by using fire spells, especially fire surge. The glacor will summon 3 glacytes once 2500 of its hp is down. A way to kill the 3 is better shown here. You can also use storm of armadyl, but it would be more expensive.

Cockroach soldiers (level 83) - Located in the stronghold of safety. These are pretty simple to kill. A whip can kill them pretty quickly. Becareful of their long range attacks though.
Dust Devils (level 93) -These are located in the chaos tunnel and in the smoke dungeon. A slayer helm or a face mask or masked earmuffs are required to kill these. These drop the rare, dragon chainbody ;).

Blue charms
Glacors - drop these frequently. They also drop effigies. Read what I wrote above to kill these.
Aberrant Sceptres (level 96) - Located in the slayer tower and polliniveach dungeon, They require 60 slayer to kill. Note that they drop a highly profitable amount of herbs and seeds. They are actually even in the charm drops. A whip or a saradomin sword is decent to kill these. Equipping a salve amulet (e) is helpful to kill these because of the special ability.
Gargoyle (level 111) - Requires 75 slayer to do damage and kill. Make sure you have a rock hammer in order to kill its last few hp. These drop granite mauls, blue charms, rune full helms, alchable steel equipment, and dark mystic robes. A chaotic maul or saradomin sword on crush, is good to kill them. They are located in the chaos tunnels, kuradals dungeon, and slayer tower.
Dark Beats (level 182) - require 90 slayer to kill, and are located in the mourner tunnels. They drop the rare dark bow and death talisman. These are weak against the chaotic longsword and saradomin sword. They have an average blue charm drop rate of 15%.
Tormented Demons (level 450) - They can be killed once you complete While Guthix Sleeps. These are located in the ancient guthix temple. This area is multicombat, so its recommended to kill these in teams. They use all three styles of attack and can use protection prayers against YOU. These drop the rare dragon claws, ruined dragon armour slices, and clue scrolls. You should have a sapphire lantern in your inventory to kill these. Since these are somewhat tedious and complex to kill, this video would help you give a better understanding of the demons.
