Why do I have to pay for a Take Back Bag?Updated a day ago

The cost of the Take Back Bag covers the return shipping of an 8–15 lb bag of textiles from your home to our sorting and grading facility. It also supports the extensive sorting process our team performs to determine the next best use for each item. At scale, our facilities process over 1 million items per day.

Our traceability platform tracks each bag and helps ensure items are routed to their appropriate next destination, whether that’s reuse, repurposing, or recycling.

As a benefit for participating and helping keep textiles out of landfills, you’ll also earn TrashieCash when your bag is dropped off and scanned by the carrier. That reward is added to your account and can be redeemed on Trashie.io for gift cards and deals from our partner brands.

As you continue sending bags, you can also unlock larger milestone rewards through our TrashieCash reward system.
