60,000 lbs diverted from Colorado landfills every month — 100% of what we collect

Donate Clothing

Your donations stay in Colorado. Through our nonprofit co-op network, donated clothing goes directly to families and resellers — and whatever doesn't get reused gets recycled, never landfilled.

You can drop off donations any time of day or night — no need to visit during store hours. Our east-side receptacles are clearly marked.

For large-volume donations (business or organizational donations), please call or email us in advance so we can make sure we have space.

What We Accept

Accepted Items

  • Everyday clothing (men's, women's, kids')
  • Denim — jeans, jackets, shorts
  • Outerwear — coats, jackets, vests
  • Shoes, boots, and sandals
  • Belts, hats, and scarves
  • Winter gear — gloves, beanies, thermals
  • Accessories and bags

All items must be clean, dry, and free of strong odors.

Not Accepted

  • Pillows and pillow cases
  • Comforters and duvets
  • Stuffed animals and plush items
  • Wet, moldy, or heavily soiled items
  • Items with strong odors

We cannot export or recycle stuffed and filled items, so we're unable to accept them at this time.

Where Your Donation Goes

1

Small Businesses

Retail partners, bin shoppers, boutique shoppers, and wholesale buyers get first access. Bins are filled unsorted — no pre-picking, equal shot for everyone.

2

Nonprofit Partners

Co-op partners — including Homeward Alliance, NOCO Humane, Clothing Cottage, and The Matthew House — send staff to select what their clients need at no cost.

3

NCT Boutique

Any remaining inventory is curated into our on-site boutique — keeping resellers and shoppers first. It's the last stop before export, not the first.

4

Export & Industrial Recycling

Whatever remains is baled and sent to industrial textile recyclers — wiping rags, insulation, fiber feedstock. Nothing goes to the landfill.

100% of what we collect stays out of the landfill.

Our Nonprofit Partners
