For those seeking alternative donation options, we have compiled a list of other local organizations that accept textiles. Our goal remains the same—to keep usable items out of landfills and support sustainable practices, whether through our programs or other community resources.

Keep in mind that many have stringent guidelines on what they will accept and when. Please visit their websites for more information before taking your items to them.

What to do with brand new, like new, and on-trend clothing?

Sell it - many resources exist to sell great quality clothing locally through social media sales pages or online through apps like Poshmark, Mercari, Ebay, etc.

Donate it - excellent quality and on-trend items can safely be donated to any organization with resell operations. These items are highly likely to be purchased within our community and run little risk of entering a landfill or being shipped overseas.

What to do with undesirable, worn, stained or damaged items?

Thread Up Oxford is the leading local option for sustainably donating textiles, including those in poor condition. As the only textile-focused sustainability nonprofit in the area, we specialize in creatively reusing materials and responsibly recycling textiles that cannot be repurposed.
