What do you take in threads?

Our threads category includes clothing (both wearable and worn out), shoes, linens, and many other textiles. What we can take varies slightly by location, so the best way to check what items we accept in your area is to go to our What We Take page, enter your zip code, and scroll down to the “Clothing, fabric, and shoes” section. 

Here are some examples of items we can generally take:
