WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ITEMS YOU DONATE
EVERYTHING gets Recycled or Reused
Donations are sorted into three groups:
High quality items are sold to clothing resellers (think ThredUp).
Mid-quality items are sold in bulk to thrift stores.
Everthing else is shredded and recycled into something new.
The money raised from selling the items funds te collections and allows for the donations to our scholarships!
