Recycling Clothing & Shoes
About 85% of clothing sold in the U.S. is thrown away and ends up in landfills. By collecting unwanted clothing for reuse and recycling, you will help our local landfill and environment. Take clothing and shoes to any of the drop-off points in Athens. The bins (pictured right) are maintained by America's Thrift Store. For a complete list of items accepted for donation, please visit: https://www.americasthrift.com/donations/what-to-donate/
America's Thrift Store can accept all textiles that are not heavily soiled with dirt, grease, or mold. This includes clothing, shoes, sheets, curtains & drapes, towels, & comforters/blankets.
Approximately 60% of the clothes and textiles are sold through thrift stores in the U.S. and abroad. The remainder are recycled as other products or made into new textiles.
