Recycling Opportunities

  • CLOTHING - USAgain bins are located at the Belleville, Sam Wolf Granite City and Red Bud campuses. USAgain accepts clothes, shoes and household textiles (tablecloths, towels, bedding, blankets, bedspreads, etc.) of good quality that can be re-worn and reused, and must be clean and dry and dropped off in tied plastic bags. The group does not accept mattresses, furniture, appliances, carpet, toys or trash. Please do not leave anything outside the bins if it doesn't fit. Instead please email info@usagain.com or call 800-604-9533.
