WHERE YOUR DONATIONS GO
Where Your Donations Go
Every donated item has a different next chapter. After collection, our team sorts donated goods and works to find the most useful next destination for each item.
Local Nonprofits
Usable clothing and goods are distributed to local nonprofit organizations that request items for the communities they serve.
Reuse & Resale
Select items are resold through our online stores to keep them in use and help fund Goods Recycling’s nonprofit operations.
Other Reuse Channels
Other usable goods are directed toward additional reuse opportunities so they can continue serving a useful purpose.
Recycling
Items that cannot be reused are recycled when practical to help reduce textile and material waste.
