What will you take?
We accept all apparel items and socks, underwear, sheets, pillow cases, towels, linens, shoes, and handbags in any condition. Ripped, torn or stained, your oldies will get a new life with the help of our recycling partners and be diverted from landfills.
What’s the impact of the Take Back Bag?
Each Take Back Bag saves 1596 gallons of water, 151 pounds of CO2 emissions, and 15 pounds of fashion waste from landfill.
Why is it better to use a Take Back Bag than other donation options?
85% of ALL textiles end up in landfills and the average American throws away 80lbs of clothing a year. That includes resale, recycling, and donation efforts.
If you send used items to For Days, they go through a sorting and grading process with our recycling partners to determine their next best life.
What happens to items sent back in the Take Back Bag?
90%+ of the items we take back have a second life.
74% of what we take back is sorted and graded for reuse.
15-22% of what we take back goes to fiber recycling: For items that don’t meet quality standards for reuse, we utilize fiber recycling technology to keep as much as possible in-use and out of the landfill.
5-10% of all Take Back Bag items are sadly, truly trash (think: plastic hangers), and sent to a responsibly managed landfill.
