Host a Bin

Our yellow bins have become a hallmark for clothes recycling and donation in the United States, encouraging individuals to drop off their clothing at convenient locations. 

For more than 20 years, we have been providing this service free of charge to participating companies, government agencies, colleges, schools, and other entities. These partnerships greatly benefit communities. Most municipalities in the U.S. do not offer textile recycling, so making our yellow bins convenient for people to use helps keep recyclable materials out of landfills.

With thousands of donation bins in parking lots and along storefronts throughout the Northeast, Midwest, and Washington, D.C., we gather and recycle, on average, more than 90 million pounds of clothing and shoes annually.

It is easy and hassle-free to host one of Planet Aid's clothes collection bins at your business. Just call your local Planet Aid office to schedule a visit to your site.
