What do you take in threads?

In most areas* we have two different Threads bags - a cloth one for recyclable threads and a clear plastic one for rewearable clothing and shoes. 

Here are some examples of items we can take:

We can take in rewearable clothing and shoes
Clothes (adult, child, or baby; any size), clean and in rewearable condition
Shoes (any size) in good condition (no holes, rewearable)
Purses and handbags
Belts
Hats in rewearable condition

We can take in recyclable threads

Damaged or unwearable clothes
Underwear and socks (any quality but clean)
Blankets and linens (any quality but clean)
Towels

Have an item you’re unsure about? Send a photo to help@ridwell.com and we’ll be happy to take a look!

*Due to jurisdictional restrictions members in Alameda cannot give us rewearable clothing. You can see what we take in Alameda here.
