Unlocking Opportunity

As a small business owner or retail property owner, you might find yourself exploring ways to enhance your community presence and contribute to meaningful causes. One impactful option is to partner with American Textile Recycling Services (ATRS) by allowing a clothing donation bin to be placed on your property. This decision not only provides a convenient service to your customers but also brings a host of benefits to your business and the community.


Community Engagement and Goodwill

First and foremost, placing an ATRS clothing donation bin on your property allows you to engage with your community in a meaningful way. It shows that your business cares about local issues, particularly sustainability and support for those in need. By facilitating clothing donations, you are actively participating in a movement that promotes environmental stewardship and assists local charities. This kind of community engagement can enhance your business's reputation, foster customer loyalty, and attract socially-conscious consumers who appreciate businesses that give back.


A Convenient Donation Option for Customers

Having an ATRS donation bin on your property provides a convenient option for your customers to donate their gently used clothing and textiles. In today’s busy world, people often look for ways to simplify their lives while also contributing to good causes. By offering a donation bin, you make it easier for them to drop off items while they shop. This added convenience can encourage customers to visit your store more often, driving foot traffic and potentially increasing sales.


Supporting Local Charities

ATRS works closely with local charities, and every item donated through their bins directly contributes to supporting these organizations. When you partner with ATRS, you are not just facilitating donations; you are actively helping to fund local programs that assist families in need, provide job training, and promote community well-being. This partnership enhances your role as a business leader in the community and showcases your commitment to social responsibility.


Environmental Benefits

As a business owner, you may already be aware of the growing emphasis on sustainability. Allowing an ATRS donation bin on your property helps divert textiles from landfills, reducing waste and promoting recycling. It aligns your business with eco-friendly practices that resonate with today’s environmentally-conscious consumers. By supporting textile recycling, you contribute to a healthier planet, which can be a significant selling point for your brand.


Liability Protection

We understand that concerns about liability can be a significant factor in your decision-making process. Rest assured that ATRS carries comprehensive insurance that covers the donation bin and the surrounding 10 feet. This means that both property owners and tenants are not exposed to any liability related to the donation bin. You can enjoy the benefits of hosting a donation bin without the worry of potential legal issues.



Why Choose ATRS?

You may have encountered other donation bin operators in the past, but ATRS stands apart in several key ways:

  2. Community Relations Advocate (CRA): ATRS assigns a dedicated CRA to each property, ensuring ongoing communication and support.

While clothing hangers serve a crucial purpose in our daily lives, they can pose challenges when included in donation bags or bins. By keeping hangers at home and only donating clothing items, we can streamline operations, prevent damage, and enhance safety. Thank you for your understanding and support as we strive to make a difference, one donation at a time.
