Donating to Planet Aid
Planet Aid collects used clothing and shoes through bright yellow donation bins placed in parking lots, gas stations, and shopping centers across 22 states. They process over 100 million pounds of textiles annually, making them one of the largest clothing collectors in the country.
Donating through Planet Aid is simple. Find a bin, bag your items, and drop them in. There's no appointment needed and bins are accessible 24/7. Planet Aid accepts clothing in any condition, including worn-out items, since everything is sorted and either resold or recycled into industrial rags and fiber.
Proceeds from Planet Aid's textile sales support development projects in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Programs focus on teacher training, sustainable farming, and community health. The organization publishes annual reports detailing how funds are distributed.
