Giving Clothing and Textiles

Processing materials is the bulk of our operation. We process all clothing and textiles to supply both the Creative Reuse Space and Uptown Threads.

Drop-Off Location: Thread Up Creative Reuse Space. 5156 College Corner Pike, Oxford, Ohio.

Policy:

Volunteers will assist with sorting and weighing textiles upon arrival

A processing fee of $0.25 per pound must be paid at the time of drop-off

Many textiles can be dropped off for free, see the list here.

We know that Thread Up Oxford is not always the answer. In the case that it’s not, please consider giving your textiles to one of our suggested organizations.

Person sorting clothes on a table in a storage area with bins and boxes.

Drop-Off Guidelines:

We take ANY CONDITION bug-free textile, except for foam couch cushions.

Large amount of textiles to drop off? Please contact us to schedule a time.

Use plastic bags/boxes or cardboard boxes

  • Please DO NOT pack items into paper bags as they will rip and get on the floor.

  • Please DO NOT overpack bags or boxes.

Come in before drop-off if you’d like free bags and boxes to pack your materials

  • Please DO NOT bring items in a tub, laundry basket, or other container you want back. We keep the containers in which materials are given.

Sort free drop-off items from paid items before arrival

  • Place rags and clothes/other items in poor condition in a bag marked “rags”
