The minimum collection requirement for a pickup is determined by your distance from our facility. It usually ranges from 150 to 350 full bags. As traveling to your location can be expensive on our part, this margin is necessary. You always have the option to deliver it directly to us. In this case, reaching the minimum bag count is no longer required.
For more specific minimum bag counts for your area, please contact us. You can also ask us about our pickup services, which are available any day of the week.
Clothing drives can be held as often as you would like and as many times as you want.
This fundraiser is a one-time event that starts with you promoting it to your community. To gain the widest reach, you can utilize various methods like giving out flyers and posting advertisements online and in print. The goal is to have as many people clean out their closets and recycle unwanted clothing to specific drop-off points.
Once several days or weeks have passed, our team and your volunteers will load the collection onto our trucks. The bags of clothing will then be brought to our facility and weighed. After a few days, we will report the total number of pounds before finally providing the correct payment.
We ask that you have a minimum of two people for every one hundred bags. Of course, the more volunteers, the better.
Our most important request is for you to only collect items from individual donors. We will not accept items from thrift stores, yard sales, and similar sources. All donations must also be just as they were given – untouched and still wearable. We request you to not go through the bags.
Our team asks you to place everything in well-tied 13-gallon or 33-gallon trash bags. If possible, clothing and footwear should be in separate bags and separated in piles before pickup.
First, we need you to provide a location on your grounds where we can install the station. This entails a one-year minimum commitment. You must also promote the program to your community to increase the number of donors.
On our end, we will provide an aesthetically pleasing unit, custom signage, and liability insurance. Our team can install a traditional metal clothing donation bin if a station is not suitable. In either case, we will take care of the maintenance needs.
The station produces a steady stream of income for your group. Every month, we will mail a check to your organization as long as our agreement stands. If successful, the unit can raise a significant amount, ranging from $250 to $750 per month.
Our sneaker/shoe drive program is ideal for groups outside our service area for clothing drives. This is also a great option for those who want to maximize their income from a fundraiser but may not have enough room for many bags of clothing.
