Planet Aid Recycling

We have partnered with Planet Aid, a non profit company that offers local non-profit organizations and community groups easy, no cost-no risk fundraising programs that pays for items donated in our recycling collection boxes.   Each time the container is emptied, we earn funds! 

Planet Aid pioneered textile reuse in the U.S. in 1997 to raise funds for community-led programs that promote education, health, and environmental and agricultural sustainability.

As a non profit organization, Planet Aid supports a second hand circular economy to reduce landfill waste and provide livelihoods for millions in the second hand clothing industry.

Over 25 years, Planet Aid have diverted nearly 2 billion pounds of textiles from U.S. landfills and raised ~$100 million for community-led development.

Planet Aid recognizes that Earth’s resources are finite and good stewardship is essential for the well-being of current and future generations. As a non profit organization, we inform, mobilize and inspire individuals and communities to work together to create lasting positive change.

By dropping your used items in the collection box, you are reducing the volume sent daily to local landfills.  Please use the yellow collection boxes that are located outside on the right side of our parking lot, accessible 24/7.
