EkoLinq is a family-owned business dedicated to building a more sustainable future in California’s Tri-Valley region by keeping clothing in use and out of landfills. Founded in 2021, EkoLinq was born from a moment of inspiration after our founder read Secondhand by Adam Minter—a powerful look into the global secondhand economy and the urgent need for local solutions to textile waste.

At EkoLinq, we believe the best path forward is simple: reuse what we can and recycle what we can’t. Our priority is to extend the life of clothing by encouraging reuse in its original form—this is not only the most environmentally friendly option but also the most impactful. When garments are too damaged to wear again, we work to ensure they are responsibly recycled so their materials can be transformed and used again.

Through community partnerships, education, and action, EkoLinq is helping shift the culture of waste in our region one garment at a time.

If you’d like to be a part of our mission of helping the environment, schedule a pickup of your unwanted clothes.
