How Hosting a Clothes Bin® Helps Schools, Religious Organizations, and Sports Teams Raise Money Year-Round

Raising money for schools, religious centers, and sports teams can be a constant challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. Hosting a Clothes Bin®  provides a simple, low-effort, high-impact way to generate consistent funding year-round, all while supporting the sustainable practice of textile recycling.

The funds raised can support a wide range of worthwhile projects, such as purchasing classroom supplies or athletic equipment, funding mission trips or youth retreats, covering travel expenses for competitions, enhancing campus or facility spaces, or supporting scholarships and enrichment programs. We offer a simple, effective way to support community programs while promoting circular economies.

How Clothes Bin®  Provides a Sustainable, Low-Effort Way to Raise Money All Year Long

A leader in the recycled textiles industry, Clothes Bin® provides for the collection, management, and distribution of pre-loved shoes, clothing, and other textiles. With conveniently located textile recycling Bins, your school, sports team or church can provide a go-to spot for anyone looking for a convenient way to recycle these items.

Our bright green Bins are open 24/7 and never call in sick. This low-effort solution allows organizations to raise funds consistently throughout the year.

How It Works

Starting a recycling program is a free and easy fundraising platform with a positive message.  The wider local community can also recycle using the Bin to generate additional money. All you need to do is engage community members and your supporters to get on board, and then choose which program you want to support.

The 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, and each Bin has electronic sensors that monitor capacity to avoid overflow.

Clothes Bin®  Franchisees Can Help Expand the Impact of Recycling

Clothes Bin® is a national franchise system made up of franchisees who own protected territories and operate clothing recycling Bins. For entrepreneurs who want to contribute to a growing circular economy, we offer a meaningful opportunity. By owning and operating textile recycling Bins, franchisees help reduce landfill waste.

This is a semi-absentee business opportunity that allows owners to continue working a full-time job while running their own business. Franchise ownership offers a flexible work schedule, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking to start their own business.

By optimizing your Bin locations, either on your own or through our optional Bin® Location Information Program (BLIP), you can approach easy-access, high-traffic locations to place your Bins in your local community. You can also partner with nonprofits, such as churches and schools, to expand Bin placements.
