Trashie's Take Back Bag is the easiest way to get rid of clothing and other textiles you do not need anymore. Simply buy a bag (or a bundle of them) fill it up, mail it back, and Trashie will ensure those items never make it to landfills, rerouting them to third-party retailers Trashie individually vets for compatibility. That means your old T-shirt, depending on its condition, could end up going to someone in need or being broken down to create carpet padding or pet bed filling, among other things. You earn exactly $30 in TrashieCash for each bag you send back, which you can redeem for deals — direct cash equivalent or a certain percentage off — to buy yourself new things from your favorite brands.
