Organizations We've Worked With

Our free collection programs help schools, nonprofits, and religious groups fundraise easily while keeping textiles out of landfills.

EkoLinq offers two easy fundraising options: scheduled residential pickup fundraisers or on-site clothing collection events. Both methods earn money by the pound while ensuring all donated items are responsibly reused or recycled.

Our Process

Since our inception in 2021, we’ve been following a simple, reuse-driven process built to maximize landfill diversion.

Step 1: Collection

We collect clothing and textiles directly from households and organizations through free curbside pickups, dropboxes, and community fundraisers. All items—whether usable or damaged—are gathered to ensure they are handled responsibly.

Step 2: Redistribution & Recycling

Collected materials are transported to trusted, vetted secondary processors who specialize in reuse and recycling. Usable items are kept in circulation, while damaged items are broken down and recycled to keep them out of landfill.

Step 3: Community Support

Through our fundraising programs, a portion of the value generated from each collection goes directly back to local schools, nonprofits, and community organizations. Every pound collected supports meaningful local initiatives while reducing waste.
