The Take Back Bag is the simplest way to recycle unwanted clothing and textiles. Fill it up, send it back, and we'll divert it from landfills and make sure everything finds a new home. Plus, you'll earn 3000 TrashieCash™ for each bag, which you can redeem for deals at your favorite brands.

Your Take Back Bag ships in 24 hours and will arrive within 10-14 business days.

You can scan the QR code on your bag for shipping instructions! Generate your free shipping label and drop your bag off at any UPS location.

You can recycle a variety of items with the Take Back Bag. Here's a breakdown:

Yes, you can recycle shoes, bags, accessories, costumes, jewelry, and most textile home goods (as long as they're not soiled).

We sort your items into over 250 categories. Around 70% are re-used globally, while over 20% are recycled into new fibers and for uses like pet bedding and building materials.

TrashieCash™ is cash back, two ways:

You'll receive TrashieCash™ after registering your Take Back Bag. Soon, we will be changing this policy to award you with TrashieCash™ upon shipping. We are planning to make this change to incentivize you to actually drop off your stuff and recycle it. We're lazy too, so we know that a TBB can sit in your closet, car, or entryway for months. We think this change will provide a nice nudge to keep stuff out of landfills.
