How It Works

A simple, three-step process.

From your closet to a new home across the world — here’s how every donation moves.

01

Donate

Drop your bagged items into a UGT bin at a local shopping center, church or partner property. Free, secure, available 24/7.

02

We Collect

Our team services every bin on a regular schedule and transports donations to our St. Louis sorting facility for processing.

03

Global Reuse

Items are sorted, baled and shipped through wholesale and recycling pipelines — giving them a second life on six continents.

Our Impact

Measurable results for the

planet and people.

Every garment we recover is a garment that doesn’t end up in a landfill. We move material through wholesale, export, recycling and private resale — creating value at every step of the chain.
