Why is it better to use a Take Back Bag than other donation options?

If you send used items to For Days, they go through a sorting and grading process with our recycling partners to determine their next best life.

90%+ of the items we take back have a second life.
74% of what we take back is sorted and graded for reuse.
15-22% of what we take back goes to fiber recycling: For items that don’t meet quality standards for reuse, we utilize fiber recycling technology to keep as much as possible in-use and out of the landfill.
5-10% of all Take Back Bag items are sadly, truly trash (think: plastic hangers), and sent to a responsibly managed landfill.
