Have you ever dreamed about  participating  in the ING New York City Marathon but never got around to that little thing we call training?   Well, so have we and here is our chance to be involved in all the energy and excitement of the starting line while providing a well needed service to the runners. A little background here: The Race is held on Novemeber 1st. The weather in New York this time of the year can be tricky to forecast to say the least. On top of this, most of the runners show up as early as 5 am to take in some of the action and jostle for a good starting position. When race time comes, the temperature can warm up and many runners just chuck their outer wear on the grassy fields of Fort Wadsworth. This is where you and Wearable Collections come in. We have partnered up with the New York Road Runners to try and assure that none of this discarded clothing heads towards the landfills.  We are looking for as many volunteers as possible to help us take on this gargantuan task.  The day will surely be fun and exciting, but there will also be a lot of work involved.  Volunteers are expected to arrive around 5am and wont leave till 3:30 pm. So if you think you are up to a Marathon of a day yourself and would like to volunteer, please fill out this form. You can also email us your name, email and phone number to vols@wearablecollections.com

We would love your help in proving that Wearable Collections can handle any job as long as we have the support of the community.

We are super happy to announce our partnership with NYC’s leading movers Moishe’s. We all know how un-eco friendly moving can make you feel.  We know your pain and are trying to do something about it. Moishe’s, in partnership with Wearable Collections, is allowing all of their customers to Take it or Leave it (sorry, only clothing). When you move with Moishe’s, you can designate which clothing you no longer want and  they will take it away for you. Moishe’s Moving will then store the items until collected by Wearable Collections who will bring the clothing to be recycled. Not only does this program alleviate a great stress to the person moving, we will also be dedicating the proceeds of these collections to a soon to be announced charity of Moishe’s choosing.  Moishe’s Moving has been leading the pact with their go green initiatives and Wearable Collections is honored to be included in their program.

We are very proud to announce that in May we passed the One Million pounds collected mark.  No, the number isn’t as impressive as the amount of burgers served by McDonalds but we would venture to say that our environmental impact is more positive.  We really want to say thanks to everyone who has helped us along the way to reach this milestone.  We have gone from a social project to a business collecting as much as 90,000 lbs per month in over 100 residential buildings and 9 Greenmarket locations. We are nothing without the support of the people whom we service. You all deserve a round of applause! We are deeply indebted to you.
