Donate, Recycle, and Support Local Charities Across the Country for Earth Day
Celebrate Earth Day with ATRS
Earth Day is a powerful reminder that every small action can contribute to a healthier planet and stronger communities. At American Textile Recycling Services (ATRS), we’re committed to promoting sustainability and supporting the causes that matter most to the communities where we operate. By donating your gently used clothing, shoes, and textiles to an ATRS donation bin, you’re making an immediate impact not only on the environment but also on local charities across the country.
A Perfect Opportunity to Give Back
Each year, millions of pounds of textiles end up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and resource depletion. On Earth Day, April 22, 2025, we encourage you to take action and donate your unwanted items to help reduce textile waste and contribute to the circular economy. When you drop off your donations at one of our ATRS donation bins, you’re ensuring that those items are either repurposed, recycled into new products, or sold to benefit local non-profits and community initiatives.
This Earth Day, let’s work together to clean out our closets, reduce waste, and support causes that make a positive difference. Here’s how your clothing donation can help:
