About CSR Inc. — Our Mission & Impact | Clothes & Shoes Recycling
Our Story
Family-Owned & Operated

Tampa-Based.
Earth-Committed.

CSR Inc. — Clothes & Shoes Recycling — is a Tampa-based, family-owned business built on the belief that textiles should never end up in a landfill. We started with a simple idea and grew it into a multi-state operation, driven by the same family values we bring home every day.

Fill the Bins, Not the Landfills.

We are a proud family-owned and operated business, started in Tampa, Florida. As a family, we saw firsthand how billions of pounds of perfectly usable clothing were being thrown away every year — and we decided to do something about it.

Our mission is simple: keep textiles out of landfills. We do this by placing secure, bright green collection bins at commercial properties across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, New Jersey, and New York — and paying the property owners for the privilege.

When you drop a bag of old clothes or shoes into one of our bins, every item is evaluated for reuse first. Wearable items are given a second life. Items that can't be worn are broken down and recycled into new materials. Nothing goes to waste.

We believe the best recycling program is one that's as easy as throwing something away — which is why we put our bins right in the parking lots where people already shop and work.
