Entrepreneurs might find Clothes Bin® a worthwhile investment in this market.

We promote environmental stewardship, stimulate the economy, and provide a source of clothes and shoes in the United States and worldwide.

Why Tennessee Is a Great Location for a Clothes Bin® Franchise
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) oversees the state’s recycling and waste reduction initiatives. It administers various grant programs to assist local governments and organizations to enhance recycling efforts. These include Waste Reduction Grants for purchasing recycling equipment and upgrading facilities and Recycling Rebates, which provide financial incentives to municipalities to achieve these goals.
The state is investing in renewable energy, especially solar power. Utility providers like the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) offer programs to encourage residential and commercial solar energy adoption. For example, TVA’s “Green Invest” program partners with cities and businesses to bring new renewable projects online, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
A growing emphasis on green initiatives makes Tennessee a good home for entrepreneurs looking to make a meaningful impact and potentially an ideal environment to start a clothes recycling franchise business.
How Does It Work?
Public demand for recycling solutions has never been higher, and yet, this market remains largely untapped. Annually, some 17 billion pounds of textiles end up in U.S. landfills. Textile waste occupies 5% of all landfill space, but 85% is preventable with a proper recycling program.
At Clothes Bin®, we are a national franchise system made up of franchisees who own protected territories and operate clothing recycling Bins. Your franchise will feature strategically placed Bins throughout your protected territory in high-traffic, easy-access locations such as schools, community centers, shopping malls, gas stations, and religious organizations. Community members drop off their pre-loved shoes and clothing into the Bins.
Each Bin is equipped with our Bin monitoring technology called BLIP®, which alerts you when a Bin is near capacity. With this data, you’ll know precisely how each Bin is performing, empowering you to make smart decisions when managing your franchise.
Our Bins are:
- Filled with technology
- Durable, constructed of galvanized steel
- Bright, coated with weather and UV-resistant materials with anti-graffiti paint
- Tamper-proof, with a secure, mailbox-style chute
Clothes Bin offers a flexible work schedule, making it a great opportunity for veterans, firefighters, teachers, entrepreneurs, part-time workers, and anyone looking for a hands-on business. We now have prime territories available in Nashville and Memphis.
