School Programs to Help You Recycle and Fundraise

Schools play a vital role in shaping environmentally conscious communities. With Clothes Bin®, schools can encourage clothing and shoe recycling while earning money for every pound collected. Our recycling program for schools requires no upfront costs and minimal effort and provides a steady fundraising opportunity throughout the year. By hosting a Bin on campus, schools make it easy for students, parents, and staff to contribute, keeping textiles out of landfills and supporting sustainability.

A leader in the recycled textiles industry, Clothes Bin® is poised to be the next Green Movement among consumers. It offers an accessible solution to help reduce landfill waste in the United States and throughout the world. Entrepreneurs interested in a clothes recycling franchise opportunity can widen the scope of eco-friendly initiatives in your city.

How Fundraising with Clothes Bin® Works at Your School

Imagine a fundraising program that works 24/7 with no upfront costs. With Clothes Bin®’s recycling program, K-12 schools earn money for every pound of clothing and shoes collected. Students, parents, and staff can drop off unwanted items in a conveniently placed Bin on campus. Each Bin is equipped with electronic sensors that monitor capacity to prevent overflow.

The program can be promoted on your school’s social media platforms, after-school programs, performing arts, and sporting events. Encourage textile contributions in concert with education about our landfills, global warming, and the importance of sustainability for future generations. Practicing textile recycling can even help your school qualify for state recycling grants. Ask how your school can receive a $100 signing bonus!

• 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.
• Fill the Bin and help save the planet.

In addition, local businesses, religious organizations, and advocacy groups can host a Bin and earn public goodwill and publicity as good stewards of the Earth by encouraging patrons to contribute to a recycling program.

Your School Has a Lot of Potential

Fundraising provides schools with essential resources that enhance students’ educational experiences. With additional funding, schools can offer students more opportunities to grow academically, socially, and creatively—preparing them for a brighter future by:

• Supporting Extracurricular Activities – Fundraising can help cover the costs for clubs, sports teams, and arts programs, ensuring all students have access to activities that promote teamwork, creativity, and leadership.
• Enhancing Classroom Resources – Additional funds can be used to purchase new textbooks, technology, and science lab equipment, giving students hands-on learning experiences that strengthen their education.
• Improving School Facilities – Funds can be used to upgrade playgrounds, libraries, or common areas, creating a safer and more engaging environment for students to learn and play in.
• Providing Field Trip Opportunities – Fundraising can help cover transportation and entry fees for educational trips, allowing students to explore museums, science centers, and historical sites that bring lessons to life.
