We Are Frequently Asked....
How often do we pick up the contents of the bins?
First and foremost, we are LOCAL and only a phone call away.
The collection of the bins' contents is based on volume. We start off weekly, but initially rely on our drivers and our partner hosts to determine if we should do every 2 weeks, pick up 2x a week or decide a 2nd bin is needed.

Where do the clothes go?
The collected contents from our bins have different final destinations. Non-reusable textiles are recycled and repurposed, therefore keeping them away from clogging our landfills.
We work with clothing recyclers in the northeast and reusable clothes are distributed globally to those in need.
Can't people just throw their clothes, etc out?
That's the thing. No.
As of November, 2022 it is illegal in Massachusetts to throw away textiles. They must be recycled. Massachusetts landfills take in 250k tons of textiles annually. That's not good.
