Over 25 years ago, Planet Aid helped launch used clothes collections in the U.S., helping people and the planet. As a nonprofit, we collect donated clothes and shoes and resell them—fueling a circular, second hand economy and raising funds to empower communities to reach their full potential.

When you donate used textiles at our yellow bins or donation centers, you are not just cleaning the closet, you are participating in a circular economy that makes a positive difference.

Reusing clothes saves precious resources, reduces pollution and fuels a circular economy.

Textile reuse helps reduce the need to manufacture new clothes which requires finite resources, like water, and contributes to pesticide and C02 pollution. Donated clothes are given a second life in a circular economy that supports millions of people.
