How to Responsibly Donate and Repurpose Your Old Clothes

Trashie’s Take Back Bag recycling program is particularly user-friendly. The Trashie website offers its Take Back Bags—large, pre-addressed mailers—in either singles or multipacks; a $20 bag holds up to 15 pounds. You fill the bag with your clothes, linens, shoes, and accessories, and return it to Trashie. (The items will ultimately be resold, recycled, or downcycled into rags and insulation; any remaining items are garbage.) After Trashie has received your shipment, you receive $30 in TrashieCash, which can be used to purchase gift cards and rewards through a Trashie account.
