Company Overview

Our mission at USAgain is simple: to provide consumers with a convenient and eco-friendly option to rid themselves of excess clothing, which we divert from wasting in landfills for resale here in the US and abroad.

USAgain redistributes the discarded clothes they collect to places where there is a great need for these items, supporting the local and global economy in the process. By exporting textiles to struggling countries we generate revenue, create green jobs here in the US and abroad, and help to improve the well-being of people in America and around the world.

We're leading the charge to encourage the re-wear, re-use and recycling of clothes and other textiles. Extending the life of clothes and shoes reduces environmental degradation from the manufacturing of new clothing and makes for a healthier planet. Through our work, we hope to encourage people to consider sensible use of our planet's land and resources.

Together, we can work to give clothes a second life and make the world a better and cleaner place for people to live.




USAgain is a for-profit company that collects unwanted textiles and resells them in the U.S. and abroad, effectively diverting millions of pounds of clothing from landfills, generating new revenue streams for U.S. businesses and non-profits, and fueling local economies in emerging countries.

Here's how it works. USAgain stations collection bins at locations around major US cities. Instead of throwing away unwanted clothes, consumers drop them off in our convenient bins, knowing they will be diverted from landfills to be reworn, reused or recycled.

We collect around one million pounds of clothing per week, which is then purchased by wholesale buyers, thrift store chains and textile recyclers.

USAgain was founded in 1999, and operates over 8,000 collection bins in 14 states. In 2009 alone, we collected over 54 million pounds of discarded clothing. A profitable venture headquartered in Chicago, we employ 160 full-time employees and contractors.
