Our Services

Better Earth Textile Recycling (BETR) is a green, for-profit organization working throughout Southeastern Wisconsin to reduce textile waste by finding new life for old clothes. Through community programs, clothing drives, business initiatives and other innovative collection efforts, we bring unwanted clothing, belts, shoes and other textiles to people in need around the world. By putting these discarded items back in the use cycle, we keep them out of landfills and help to conserve the earth’s precious natural resources.

MUNICIPALITY RECYCLING

When municipalities provide an easy and environmentally friendly drop-off location for unwanted textiles, you help the planet and provide a much-needed, value-added service for area residents.

 

BETR makes it easy for cities and towns to offer textile recycling as an ongoing, year-round service or as a periodic event. We’ll work with you to develop a textile recycling program to best meet the needs of your community

THRIFT & RESALE STORE PICKUP

Thrift and resale stores frequently find themselves with merchandise that hasn’t sold and a need to clear space for new items. BETR will promptly pick up and buy your store’s excess or seasonal new and used clothing, other textiles, shoes and belts.

Our business partnerships are good for the planet!

Better Earth Textile Recycling (BETR) partners with other area businesses to help keep textiles out of landfills. Check out this video from our partner JDog Junk Removal and Hauling, which mentions BETR at the 2:14 minute point.

Better Earth Textile Recycling (BETR) has expanded!

We added a new, large-capacity Fleetliner diesel truck with a power liftgate to our existing fleet of 16- and 26-foot box trucks. This new vehicle offers us significantly increased hauling capacity.

BETR has also expanded our warehouse space to over 10,000 square feet. We have a baler, scale and fork truck onsite.

And BETR now services the Fox Valley and Green Bay regions.
