Clothes Bin

Business Features Clothes Bin has developed a proven process for the collection, management and distribution of clothes, shoes and textiles throughout the United States.  Strategically located in the parking lots of schools, convenience stores, gas stations, shopping centers or wherever people congregate, these bright green Bins are the go-to for anyone looking for a convenient way to recycle their clothes, shoes and textiles.

Clothes Bin is a semi-absentee and technology-based franchise opportunity that works full-time: • The Bin is your hardest working employee. The Bins work 24/7/365 without overtime pay and they never call in sick. For them, HR stands for "Happily Recycling."

• Getting started is easy. No build-out, construction inspections or soft openings to worry about. Your Bins are ready to get to work the moment you place them in the field and if the location isn't working for you, you simply relocate the Bin to another location. It's that simple and we call it Bin Optimization.

• Rain or shine, day and night your Bins are working for you. BLIP (Bin Location Information Program) will monitor each Bin and tell you when they need to be serviced. Our Clothes Bin App will even lay out the most efficient collection route. • Simple to manage. Unlike many other franchise opportunities, Clothes Bin franchisees don't need to worry about food costs, spoilage or purchasing inventory.
