The textile recycling industry annually prevents 2.5 billion pounds of post-consumer textile product waste from entering the solid waste stream, according to the Council for Textile Recycling. This 2.5 billion pounds of post-consumer textile waste represents 10 pounds for every person in the United States. Our hope is to help to keep some of these textiles and other materials from ending up in landfills, while simultaneously offering our customers high-quality, gently-used items at a great price.
