These textiles are primarily reused as clothing and shoes, providing thousands of jobs for small entrepreneurs, their families, and employees. exporting reclaimed clothing donations to over 15 countries worldwide. Your hand-me-down might travel to Japan, Europe, Africa, South or Central America. About half of their donations become reused shoes and clothing.
BST grades all donations, and the other half is reused as wiping rags factories in the US or are ground down and repurposed in fiber mills. Torn and stained clothing and linens accepted. Stuffed animals accepted! Willard PTG is paid for filling our dumpster.
