Textile Recycling Quotes provides secure textile recycling and destruction to San Francisco, CA as part of a nationwide service.

Nationwide Service

How service in San Francisco works

San Francisco businesses get the same documented destruction and closed-loop recovery we deliver everywhere: scheduled pickup, on-demand collection, or a mail-back program sized to how much clothing and fabric each location generates.

Every job runs under chain of custody and closes with a Certificate of Destruction, so compliance, ESG, and loss-prevention teams get audit-grade evidence rather than a disposal receipt.

Programs

Textile recycling services in San Francisco, CA

We run several clothing and textile recycling programs for San Francisco businesses. Call to set one up.

Clothing manufacturer take-back programs

Brands and clothing makers joining the ClothingTakeBack.com recycling platform get a consumer recycling program that provides closed-loop recycling for their customers across the country. Collection runs through a mail-back program or in-store drop-off. Material is recycled into fibers, those fibers are turned into new recycled cotton yarn, and the yarn is made available for brands to use in new clothing.

Retail store collection bins

Retail store clothing collection bins are a straightforward way to offer recycling to customers. Multiple styles and types of bin are available to fit the space a store actually has, from compact front-of-store units to back-of-house containers.

Corporate uniform recycling

Large employers with thousands of staff generate a significant volume of textile waste when uniforms are retired. We take that material out of circulation and recycle it, so old employee uniforms reduce a company’s footprint instead of filling a dumpster.

Clothing and textile shredding

Companies holding textiles or clothing that do not meet specification, or cannot be sold, can have it shredded. Shredding protects brands from defective products, counterfeit goods, and discontinued items that simply need to be destroyed. After shredding, the fiber is used in other products such as stuffing for furniture, insulation, or carpet padding.

Regulation

California’s SB 707 puts the obligation on the producer

California’s Responsible Textile Recovery Act of 2024 (SB 707) is the first U.S. law establishing an extended producer responsibility framework for clothing and textiles. Qualifying apparel producers must join a state-approved Producer Responsibility Organization, fund collection and recycling programs, and meet waste reduction targets by 2030. If your business puts apparel on the market in California, take-back and documented recycling stop being optional and start being a reporting obligation.
