In JUST the United States, we throw away nearly
9,000,000,000 pounds of clothing each year!

It’s amazing that NINE HUNDRED BILLION pounds of clothing is discarded and ends up in our landfills each year.  Once your trash is picked up by the garbage collectors, most of it is taken to the landfill where it is packed down and stored under the ground. We would like to think that most of that trash will decompose, however, there are so many items that will be buried in the landfills, forever. This creates a huge pile of garbage, which is very unhealthy for our planet. Ultimately causing pollution to our air, water and land. The only real solution to this rapidly growing problem is to prevent these items from continuing to be discarded as trash.

Although most of us do a great job of recycling items like cardboard, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans. But, what about all the other stuff? However, recycling shoes and clothing cannot be done through city collection companies, as there is no place for them to pace these items on their trucks. If they throw these items in with the other recyclables they will get ruined, and then turn into garbage.  That is why we believe that creating an alternative and convenient means for people to recycle these items is so necessary.

On behalf of Partner Recycling, the environment, and future generations, we would like to personally thank you for joining our efforts to save the environment by recycling!
