As the first and only clothing recycling franchise, our franchisees play a key role in helping others do their part for the environment. When you join the Clothes Bin® family, you’ll become an advocate for promoting sustainability and clothing recycling in your local community.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, clothing waste occupies approximately 5% of all landfill space. While the clothing recycling industry recycles 3.8 billion pounds of clothing waste annually, 85% of clothing waste is contributed to landfills. When clothes end up in landfills, they create greenhouse gases. Essentially, recycling clothing helps to reduce climate change and landfill waste. Our franchise opportunity offers a simple answer to the ongoing demand for green solutions. Clothes Bin® is poised for the next Green Movement among consumers by making it easy for communities to recycle clothing and shoes and do good for the environment.
Even if you don’t have any sales or business experience, it is possible to make your entrepreneurial dreams come true with Clothes Bin®. Plus, we offer extensive training programs at our corporate headquarters in South Florida, as well as in-territory training so you can confidently manage your business.
