Textile Recycling: How CheckSammy Can Help Dispose of Your Textiles Responsibly

95% of all textiles are reusable or recyclable (EPA)

Did you know that 17 million tons of textiles go to our landfills every year – when around 95% of all textiles are reusable or recyclable (EPA)? The clothing and textile industry is the second largest polluter in the world, right behind oil (source: EPA). That’s why textile recycling is so crucial.

At CheckSammy, we are passionate about helping our customers do their part by managing their waste responsibly. We help our commercial clients recycle or donate clothing, tablecloths, bedsheets, apparel, and all other textiles, so they can keep pace with a clear conscience. Together, we can drastically reduce the volume of textiles sent to landfills.

The Next Generation Of Sustainability Technology Is Here

Simplified Material Collection

CheckSammy's Drop program is suitable for companies that generate a lot of recyclable materials as part of their normal course of work. Whether you use one of our containers, or store them onsite using yours, when they get full we'll pick them up and take them to a sustainable destination, diverting material from landfill and benefiting your bottom line.

Detailed ESG Reporting & Analytics

We not only help you make a positive impact to the planet and to your bottom line, we provide detailed reporting to quantify the positive impact you make. Our reporting can integrate to your very specific needs, and we provide Certificates of Diversion and Destruction as well as documented, auditable visual evidence for your compliance needs.

Immediate Impacts for Your ESG Score

If you're looking to accelerate your path to zero carbon, the CheckSammy Carbon Offset Marketplace gives your a trusted source to immediately improve your carbon metrics, while supporting worthwhile projects.

Moving Materials With Purpose

We know that materials have to be moved from their source, and that there's a carbon cost involved in doing so. That's why we developed a network of more than 25,000 facilities across the continent - to minimize the miles traveled from source to destination. We don't believe in shipping materials overseas when so many solutions exist domestically.

"We had thousands of pounds of textiles stacked to the ceiling in our warehouse - we didn't want to send it to the dump, but didn't know what else to do with it. CheckSammy found a local solution and we couldn't be happier."

Rachel Y.

Director of Facilities, Portland, OR

"CheckSammy has helped us a lot, but the thing I appreciate the most is how easy it is to work with them. No matter what my problem is, I just call my Account Manager and she solves it for me."

Javier G.

Facility Manager, Dallas, TX

"CheckSammy simplified what had been a complex fixture recycling program. It turned what a headache into a set-it-and-forget it project, and they provided detailed analytics that helped me show the program impact to our stakeholders"

Spencer D.

Chief Sustainability Officer, Nashville, TN

"Working with CheckSammy makes my job easier. I manage 22 facilities across the country, and being able to call my Account Manager whenever an emergency pops up, knowing CheckSammy will take care of it lets me focus on the other parts of my job."

Reggie K.

Director of Facilities, Columbus, OH

"You can't imagine how much CheckSammy helps me - I had a backed-up loading bay, and my first call was to CheckSammy. They showed up in less than 4 hours and saved me."

Almost every type of textile can be recycled. Different recycling centers are equipped to handle specific materials. Recycled fabrics can be broken down and turned into padding, cleaning supplies, paper products, industrial blankets, and more.

If your textiles have life left in them, donating unwanted clothing is the most sustainable solution. With CheckSammy, we do all the hard work for you to find the right resaler that will take your items and give them a second life – and won’t send them to the landfill if they don’t sell.

When textiles or clothing are at the end of their life, they don’t have to go to a landfill – CheckSammy is here to make sure of that. While some cities may offer textile recycling, there are usually limitations on items and pickup can take weeks. A sustainable waste provider like CheckSammy will handle all your textile recycling needs in one stop so you don’t have to worry about the details

Not usually and it's becoming less possible to do so. Most recycling programs aren’t equipped to handle textile pickup and recycling. However, if you have one of our Drop Bins, you can throw your textiles right in the bin, and we’ll handle the rest.
