Thrift Stores and Non-Profit Organizations

Our promise is our unwavering commitment to outstanding service.  We pick up on-site and develop a collection schedule with you that allows you to regain your space and peace of mind.

Bagged, Un-Baled Clothing. We generally set our pick-up minimums at 30 bags. If your store is small and your volumes are high, we may be able to provide an outside shed or storage container for your convenience. We do all the loading and will even supply garment carts when available for your convenience. Because the cost of labor and fuel to pick up is high, and the international rate for used clothing is low, we generally do not pay for small and mid-sized loads…these are 90% of our pick ups. For those exceptionally large loads that fill our box truck (27’L x 8’H x 7’W), we can pay a modest compensation. The amount varies with clothing quality and distance from our warehouse and generally ranges from $50 to $150 per box truck load (see size above).

Baled Clothing. We love baled clothing! Rates for baled clothing depend mostly on current market rates, your distance away from our warehouse and the general quality/mix of clothing. Clothing with paired shoes are paid a bit higher than without. Large bales weighing over 1,000lbs are paid higher than smaller bales. We can pick up one at a time or an entire semi load! We can even spot semi trailers at your store to fill and swap as needed.

Private, Residential Pick Ups

We can pick up your gently used clothing and household goods! We have routes all across Minnesota and western Wisconsin and can add your pick ups to one of these routes. To reduce our carbon footprint, we ask that you work with us regarding the date/time of your pickup. It is best if we can add you to one of our normally-scheduled routes. We are in many towns either weekly or biweekly. Please note: We generally cannot pay for private, residential pickups unless you have an unusually high volume of used clothing, such as an entire enclosed trailer, garage or rental unit. Even then, rates are minimal: usually 25-40 cents per 30 gallon garbage bag. In order to pay private suppliers, we need pick ups exceeding 2,000 pounds. Pick ups under that size are still great, but our service becomes free of charge without payment. We hope the public understands, our main role is to serve as a bulk, used clothing recycler. We are not set up to pay per piece. To receive payment per piece for your used clothing and shoes, we suggest contacting your local consignment shop. To request a pick up from us, please call or text.

Call today. Let's set up a visit and discuss a pick-up schedule! We're just a phone call away.
