Nonprofit-First Partnerships
Nonprofit-First Partnerships
Reliable Recycling Services partners with nonprofit organizations, thrift stores, and community groups to help manage excess donated clothing while creating reliable, year-round funding for their programs.
Our model is designed to support long-term partnerships through permanent collection bins and organized clothing drives — offering both operational relief and consistent financial benefit.
Permanent collection bins
Clothing drive partnerships
Excess donation support
Year-round funding
Our bin sponsorship program allows businesses, churches, and property owners to host a clothing and shoe recycling bin with proceeds directed to a nonprofit partner of their choice.
This creates a simple, year-round fundraising opportunity while providing a professionally serviced collection site for the community. Bins are maintained on a regular schedule and clearly identified to ensure cleanliness, compliance, and transparency.

Hosted at businesses, churches, properties
Proceeds directed to a nonprofit partner
Serviced on a regular schedule
While our primary focus is supporting nonprofit partners, we also work with small businesses and property owners who choose to direct recycling proceeds to their own business.
This option allows partners to earn supplemental income from unused space while participating in responsible clothing and shoe recycling. Many partners later choose to support a nonprofit as part of their involvement, but both options are available.
Retail centers & shopping plazas
Apartment & multi-unit properties
Small businesses & offices
Unused exterior or parking areas
Reliable Recycling Services supports both organized clothing drives and permanent collection bins as fundraising tools for nonprofit partners.
Clothing drives are ideal for short-term campaigns, events, and community engagement. They provide a focused fundraising opportunity tied to a specific cause or timeframe.
Permanent collection bins offer consistent, year-round funding with minimal ongoing effort. For many partners, bins become a dependable long-term revenue source beyond individual drives.
We work with each organization to determine the best approach based on their goals and capacity.
One-time or seasonal clothing drives
Ideal for schools, churches and community groups
Permanent bins for ongoing support
Predictable year-round funding model
