Clothing

Do not include clothing, fabric, or shoes in your curbside recycling. Cloth is a tangler that will tie up the sorting equipment at the recycling facility.

Donate usable clothing, fabric, and other textiles to a charitable organization. Good, usable clothing can be dropped off at a collection bin or store that is operated by local charities. For local donation opportunities, see the list below.

GUESS offers the GUESS Again apparel recycling program. Recycle both your GUESS and non-GUESS clothes and receive store credit.

H&M has a garment-recycling initiative that allows customers to exchange any used garments, from any brand, in any condition, at every H&M store. For each bag of clothing donated, customers will receive a voucher for a percentage off their next purchase.

Zappos has a Blue Jeans Goes Green denim recycling program. See details about the mail-back program.

Shoes
Nike and Converse Factory Stores offer the Reuse-A-Shoe program. The company collects old, worn-out athletic shoes for recycling and then transforms them into Nike Grind, a material used in creating athletic and playground surfaces and select Nike products. See a list of drop-off locations.

Teva accepts and recycles Teva brand sandals and flip-flops through Terracycle's TevaForever mailback program. See details. 

Choose a program like EcoSneakers or GotSneakers to have a shoe drive for collecting, repurposing, and recycling shoes.

Textiles

Local companies accept textiles and cloth for recycling, including unusable clothing.
