Resale Stores and Charities often receive more donations than they can sell, or items that are lightly stained or torn. The national-chain resale stores have infrastructure in place to allow them to sell these items directly into the Secondary Textile Industry for recycling. What about our local stores?  Chicago Textile Recycling works as a consolidator to collect excess and unsaleable shoes and clothing from over 50 area resale stores that otherwise may not have the space or volume necessary to sell directly. Choose to recycle with CTR and your store will gain funds for items unfit for your customers.

Acceptable Items

Chicago Textile Recycling is equipped to process:

• • Clothing

• • Household Linens

  • Additional Items (Books, Small Household Items) May be accepted based on volume and processing requirements.

  Scheduling & Transportation

  We have the ability to pick-up your items on a regularly scheduled service day, or with call-as-needed pick-up service.  We also offer full semi-trailer recycling services.  Specific scheduling is determined based on store capacity as well as volume and mileage considerations.
