An Introduction to USAgain

USAgain is a for-profit company that collects unwanted textiles and resells them in the U.S. and abroad, effectively diverting millions of pounds of clothing from landfills, generating new revenue streams for U.S. businesses and non-profits, and fueling local economies in emerging countries.

Here's how it works. USAgain stations collection bins at locations around major US cities. Instead of throwing away unwanted clothes, consumers drop them off in our convenient bins, knowing they will be diverted from landfills to be reworn, reused or recycled.

We collect around one million pounds of clothing per week, which is then purchased by wholesale buyers, thrift store chains and textile recyclers.

USAgain was founded in 1999, and operates over 10,000 collection bins in 15 states. In 2010 alone, we collected over 56 million pounds of discarded clothing. A profitable venture headquartered in Chicago, we employ 220 staff nationwide.
