Our story
We are a Guaranteed Irish Company that have been in business promoting and actioning the reuse and re-ware of used clothing since 1992. We operate Clothes Pods and Containers around the Country in approved private and Local Authority Bring Centres and Civic Amenites Centres. Each and every Clothes Pod site is maintained efficiently as they are serviced on a regular and professional basis.
We are excited to partner with the green school’s programme in 2020 to promote active recycling and reuse programmes in participating schools nationwide. Clothes Pod are also fully permitted and insured to work in partnership with Local Authorities and Licensed Waste/Management Companies throughout the Country to ensure that all your unwanted clothing and textiles can be collected in a convenient and efficient manner and that the items collected are recycled and repurposed professionally and correctly.
Our mission
We believe it is significant to recycle wisely which is why our goal is to prevent the dumping of unfit clothing in landfill sites. We are fully compliant with the requirements laid down by Local Authorities, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Environment to achieve our common goals of diverting Textile Waste away from Landfills and to promote the culture of Re-Use. As well as collecting from our distributed Pods, we also aim to support communities by purchasing clothing from local clubs, charity shops and from school fundraising events.
As the Number One Collectors and Exporters of second-hand clothing in Ireland we really wanted to collaborate with a nationally recognised project, which is why we are excited to partner with the green school’s programme in 2020. As part of our mission we want to promote active recycling and reuse programmes in participating schools nationwide.
