We want your used clothing, footwear and linens.

Did you know 85% of all textiles end up in landfills despite 95% being fully recyclable? Currently, there are approximately 500 million pounds of textiles sitting in Canadian landfills. Textiles put tremendous strain on our environment. Decomposing clothing and other household materials release methane, a harmful greenhouse gas and significant contributor to global warming.  Recycling Rewards has been diverting textiles from landfills since 2005.
