Textile and material wastes in the USA constitute 9.5% of municipal solid waste generated annually. These wastes are a major component of our landfills. By donating your old clothes, shoes, and home linens for recycling and reuse, you can keep them away from getting into our landfills.
We accept all used but freshly laundered clothing, along with clothing accessories(belt, Scarves, hats), shoes, handbags, toys, Children’s clothing and shoes, Jewelry, and Bicycles.
We don’t accept pillows, Damaged clothes or shoes, Electronics, Food (beverages or perishable items), Furniture, Glass, Household appliances, Hazardous and toxic materials, Mattresses, Rollerblades, Rugs
We take them to a sorting facility, where we assess their suitability for secondary uses. Almost 50% of collections are typically reused as clothing and sold in second-hand markets worldwide. Around 46% get upcycled as rags or shredded into fiber products that are used for diverse purposes like carpet padding, home insulation, and mattress stuffing. Around 4% can’t be repurposed though we are trying to find new solutions to bring down this percentage.
Reuse refers to second-hand use of your clothing or shoes that you believe are of no more use to you. Recycling is where your discarded items are broken down into a fundamental resource to be used for new purposes.
