Every Pound Counts: See How Much Your Organization Could Earn With Clothes Bin

Bake sales and car washes may be time-honored traditions, but they offer limited returns. Imagine a fundraising solution that generates consistent income without requiring you to plan events, sell goods, or ask more of your team’s time. That’s the idea behind Clothes Bin^®: a clothing recycling partnership that helps schools, religious organizations, and nonprofits meet their fundraising goals.

A leader in the recycled clothing industry, Clothes Bin^® provides for the collection, management, and distribution of pre-loved or unwanted clothing and shoes. With contactless clothes recycling Bins for your nonprofit or your community organization, you can inspire change while raising money to support your cause.

How to Create Ongoing Support Through Textile Recycling

As the first clothing recycling franchise, Clothes Bin® strives to offer convenient ways for communities to recycle clothes and shoes. This partnership with your organization offers a proven, scalable fundraising model that requires minimal effort.

We have a national presence and a proven track record of success across a wide range of organizations, enabling nonprofits and schools to support their missions without diverting resources from core operations.

With conveniently located textile recycling Bins, you can provide a go-to spot for anyone looking for a convenient way to recycle these items. Your organization receives money for every pound recycled in the Bin.

Earn Without Selling, Events, or Volunteers

Most fundraisers come with spreadsheets, schedules, volunteers to recruit, inventory to manage, payments to track, and countless hours of coordination. However, the Bin works 24/7 and never calls in sick, earning revenue month after month. That means more time for your team to focus on what matters most — serving your community.

Perfect for Schools, Churches, and Nonprofits of All Sizes

Whether you’re a small school or a large community nonprofit, the model scales to fit your goals. Every pound of recycled clothes and shoes counts — and that adds up to support for after-school programs, outreach initiatives, or facility improvements. Schools may also qualify for a signing bonus when they start their school fundraising program.

How It Works

By placing our bright green recycling Bins in easy-to-access areas, community members have a simple, effective way to recycle their clothing and shoes. Our Bins help raise money by turning everyday unwanted items into long-term benefits.

Additional benefits include:

• No cost, no work, no mess, no worries.
• We take care of the Bins at no cost to you.
• Clothes Bin® maintains, cleans, and services the Bins.
• Receive a check every month.

Your organization gets paid for every pound recycled by using  reporting that shows how much was collected and earned.

The Benefits of Nonprofit Passive Income

Nearly 47% of nonprofits report lacking sufficient funds to support their programs and services. One way forward is passive income from recycling — for a revenue stream that supplements traditional fundraising methods. Rather than relying on annual events or uncertain grants and corporate donations, consistent income builds long-term financial stability.

Less Fundraising Fatigue, More Community Participation

Americans receive an average of four solicitations each month, prompting 70% to say they’ve experienced “donor fatigue.” With Clothes Bin®, because participation is free and benefits the environment, more people are likely to take part. Parents, parishioners, or neighbors who might otherwise skip a ticketed event may be more inclined to support your cause, as this helps them declutter their closets and achieve their own personal sustainability goals.

A Greener Way to Give Back

The average American discards 81 pounds of textiles every year, much of which ends up in landfills. Clothes Bin®  can help your nonprofit earn public goodwill and publicity as a supporter of local “green” initiatives. It also allows you to act as good stewards of the Earth by encouraging your supporters to contribute to a recycling program.

Clothes Bin®: Recycling That Rewards Your Mission

Inspire your community to recycle with purpose, and turn everyday clothing contributions into lasting support for your nonprofit’s mission. And if you are an aspiring entrepreneur, the public demand for environmentally friendly solutions has never been greater, and the recycled clothing industry as an avenue for owning a business has remained relatively untapped — until now.
