RecycleNation.com, the #1 ranked recycling tool on the internet
(according to the latest rankings by FeedSpot) has teamed with
Helpsy, a clothing collection company and a certified B corporation

clothing.
Helpsy partners with municipalities and organizations across 10
states to collect unwanted clothing. Helpsy operates 1,200 clothing
collection points and provides free curbside service to millions of
Americans. The company funds numerous charities and thrift stores
to give consumers convenient and compelling alternatives to
garbage.
The collaboration makes Helpsy’s collection points available via
RecycleNation’s searchable database. News of the collaborative
effort to expand the RecycleNation database to include Helpsy’s
clothing drop off sites comes on the heels of RecycleNation’s
