The Process of Clothing Recycling

Clothing recycling plays an important part in protecting the environment, and like all residents of Newmarket, you're concerned about living a greener life. We should all do our part to keep the world in good shape so that many generations will be able to enjoy it for years to come.

Of course just the idea of clothing recycling seems like a very novel one, but it really is as simple as getting rid of the clothes you don't wear any longer and sending them on to someone who needs them. However, the process is not entirely like donating to charity. There are some important distinctions that all make perfect sense when you understand exactly how the process of textile or clothing recycling works for residents of Newmarket.

• You weed out your closet and dresser to find all of the clothing you no longer need or wear. Just bag it up, and it's ready to go.
• Next, one of two things happens. You can take all of those old clothes to a drop-off center like the ones owned by Seconds Wholesale. Otherwise you can organize a massive clothing drive in your neighborhood to collect as many used clothing items as you can.
• Recycled clothes are then sold for discounted prices to organizations that can connect them with the people who need them. Some clothes may be bought by local charities in Canada, while others may be purchased and shipped to third world countries where they can be of good use.
• Clothing items that are sold to charities in Canada are then sold again to a thrift store that operates for profit. The thrift store that the items go to depends on the charity that purchased them. Most charities are contracted to supply these for-profit thrift stores with a certain amount of clothes every month.

So the entire process of clothing recycling is fairly simple, although the number one question most people ask involves where the clothes end up after they leave their home. As you can see, the answer to that question can be rather complicated, but it does mean that you won't likely see someone wearing the items you donated in your own community.

One of the greatest things about clothing recycling for residents of Newmarket is the fact that people who live there may have plenty of clothing items to donate but little need to visit a thrift store. Through clothing recycling like the programs offered through Seconds Wholesale, all of these items are redistributed to the places where they are needed the most—even if that involves shipping them to a third world country where people simply don't have anything to wear.

Seconds Wholesale will take all of your used clothing donations. They'll help you raise money for a trip or program or simply give you a way to get rid of your old clothes in an economical, environmentally friendly way. As Barrie landfill, they also provide clothes, metal, and electronics recycling in Ontario.
