Millions of Smiles

There is nothing more exciting to me than the path we are on and the anticipation of disrupting the ancient industry of clothing recycling. Our team is on a mission to create change, inspire and delight those who will see the purpose of recycling; the true value in creating a movement for reuse is the delivery of millions of smiles.

What makes our mission different is that we are redefining the model, creating a narrative around reuse and the human connection. Indeed, we are inspiring action in a way that is remarkable and simple. This change is reflected in our adoption of the tag line “people recycling for people.” At the core of all that we do, Community Recycling is educating, motivating and connecting people through the simple act of reuse. In contrast to old world recycling, the reuse movement is the highest and best use of the material that we no longer need or want. More important than that, however, is that we are shining a light on the fact that people are connected through reuse. This is the most elegant, powerful and restorative solution for all of our reusable items. By promoting reuse, we are not only providing a sound environmental solution, creating new jobs here and abroad, but we are also offering a moment to connect with others. This act of reuse creates many positive consequences: the smile of delight, affirmation of environmental stewardship and an acknowledgement that one small act has made a big difference somewhere here and elsewhere. These are smiles that are knowing, heartfelt and lasting. This is an act that can be easily and conveniently repeated by each one of us, our neighbors, and within the community at large.

Small acts of reuse translate to an enormous impact. At Community Recycling, we are passionate about our path and the mission we are on to change the model of clothing recycling. We have seen meaningful results with our growing network of recycling partners and we know that we are well on our way to delivering the best reward yet: millions of smiles.
