USAgain drop boxes showing up
You may have noticed the USAgain drop boxes showing up around town.
This is listed on their website “USAgain is a green for-profit enterprise that collects used clothes and resells them worldwide to conserve precious natural resources and greenhouse gases. We provide thousands of convenient locations across the U.S. where you can drop off your gently used clothes and shoes any time of the day, any day of the year. For the clothes you no longer use, we provide an easy, eco-friendly way to remove them from your closet! What’s more, the clothes are given a second life at affordable prices for people who can’t afford brand new clothes. It’s a win-win-win proposition.”
