A good deed for the planet, an impact on my community

For 10 years, the Super Recyclers have been bringing families, schools, and daycare centers together around a mission: to reduce textile waste for the planet, to fund educational projects, and to encourage community involvement.

I want to organize a clothing drive

I mobilize my community

I want to learn about textiles and the environment

One garment, multiple impacts

Reducing, reusing, and recycling textiles has many benefits, and by donating your textiles to the Super Recyclers, you are contributing to these benefits.

Impact on
the planet

More than 500,000 tons of textiles are thrown away each year in Canada, of which only 25% are recovered.

Donating your clothes to the Super Recyclers extends their lifespan, prevents them from ending up in landfill, and significantly reduces CO₂ emissions and water consumption associated with textile production.

Impact on
the community

Already, more than $400,000 has been donated to schools and organizations thanks to the Super Recyclers’ drives!

By donating your clothes, you are directly helping schools and daycare centers fund educational projects, while also giving textiles a new lease on life for families and organizations in need. It’s a gesture of solidarity that benefits the entire community.

Impact on
individual well-being

94% of people who volunteer report an improvement in their mood and well-being. Volunteering and participating in community projects increase feelings of belonging and reduce stress.

Participating in a clothing drive is more than just an eco-friendly gesture: it is a source of pride, well-being, and motivation. Whether you get your children involved, volunteer as a parent, or simply tidy up your own wardrobe, you are helping the environment while improving your own quality of life.

Why should you participate in a Super Recyclers clothing drive?

The Super Recyclers clothing drive is a free, turnkey activity. All clothing and textile drives are used to fund projects that improve life at your school or daycare centre, based on the weight collected.

How does it work?

1

The community brings used clothing, shoes and linens to your location on a specific preselected date. The used linens must be washed first and must be in good enough condition to be used by disadvantaged families.

2

Our trucks will go to your location on the chosen day and hour to pick up the donated clothes, shoes, boots, sandals, and used linens (bed sheets and pillow, towels, dish towels, blankets, etc.)
