How do you send it back
- Scan the QR code on your bag for shipping instructions. You will have the option to generate a USPS QR code or print a mailing label for drop off.
- The price of the Take Back Bag covers the shipping costs to send your filled Take Bag Bag back to us.
Why is it better to use a Take Back Bag than other donation options?
- 85% of ALL textiles end up in landfills and the average American throws away 80lbs of clothing a year. That includes resale, recycling, and donation efforts. If you send used items to For Days, they go through a sorting and grading process with our recycling partners to determine their next best life.
What happens to items sent back in the Take Back Bag?
- 90%+ of the items we take back have a second life.
- 74% of what we take back is sorted and graded for reuse.
- 15-22% of what we take back goes to fiber recycling: For items that don’t meet quality standards for reuse, we utilize fiber recycling technology to keep as much as possible in-use and out of the landfill.
- 5-10% of all Take Back Bag items are sadly, truly trash (think: plastic hangers), and sent to a responsibly managed landfill.
