About Recycling Rewards

Did you know that 85% of all textiles end up in landfills, even though 95% are fully recyclable?
Currently, an estimated 500 million pounds of textiles are sitting in Canadian landfills. This waste places a tremendous strain on our environment. As clothing and household materials decompose, they release methane—a harmful greenhouse gas and a major contributor to global warming. Additionally, dyes and chemicals in fabrics, shoes, and accessories can leach into the soil, contaminating both surface and groundwater.

Recycling Rewards is a licensed, for-profit Canadian recycling company operating in Ontario since 2005.
We’ve been setting the standard in textile recycling by collecting and repurposing clothing, toys, books, small appliances, and other unwanted items. Our mission is to promote a greener planet by offering quick, convenient textile recycling solutions while supporting local charities. We believe in the power of “Recycle + Reuse = Rewards.”

With a fully equipped virtual call center and a dedicated fleet of trucks,
we proudly offer reliable Pick-Up and Donation Bin Programs. We’ve built, placed, and maintain over 900 textile recycling bins across Ontario—delivering one of the province’s most accessible and effective Residential Curbside Textile Collection & Recycling programs.
