Wearable Collections
  • The Problem

    386 million lbs. of clothing waste

    Our Solution

    An easy way to recycle clothing

    The Benefit

    Money raised for schools & charities

  • Collect

    We accept clothing, shoes, bags, belts, towels, curtains and other clean household textiles.

    Reuse

    We sort donations into those that can be worn, made into industrial rags, or turned into stuffing and low-grade fiber products. 95% is reused.

    Support

    We use your clothing waste to fund NYC-based community charities and national nonprofits that support a cleaner planet and healthier people.
