Donating to USAgain
USAgain is a textile recycling company that places donation bins in communities across the Midwest and eastern United States. Their focus is on keeping textiles out of landfills. The company collects, sorts, and redistributes clothing and shoes for reuse or recycling.
The process is straightforward. Bag your clothes and shoes, find a USAgain bin, and drop them in. Bins are available around the clock and accept items in any condition. Wearable clothing is resold in secondhand markets, while worn-out textiles are processed into cleaning rags or raw fiber.
USAgain partners with local charities and community organizations, sharing a portion of proceeds from textile sales. The company reports diverting over 100 million pounds of clothing from landfills each year.
