Seconds Recycling

y, we treat each store differently based on their needs. We’ve been servicing the needs of thrift stores since 2003. Seconds also collects clothing on behalf of Steps Recovery located in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. We’ve been working with Steps Recovery for 2 ½ years, helping maintain the required volume needed for their clothing bank which funds their programs. Seconds just recently started a clothing drive program that is geared towards churches in Ontario. There are currently 7 different churches that are a part of the program, which generate revenue from the clothing drive to help fund their programs. We offer the following four recycling programs:

Recycled Drop-Off / Pick-Up Centres
Total Recycling Programs
Used Clothing Fundraising

Whenever you’re creating a business you want every business transaction to create a positive reaction. By receiving someone’s unwanted items, we either recycle them in a proper manner (positive reaction for the environment) or sell the items to a charity that needs to fill certain contract demands with for profit thrift stores. The proceeds from the sale of these items fund that the causes of the particular charities. For example, a local school that needs to raise funds for a class to go on a trip to South Africa contacts Seconds. We will work with the school to set up a clothing/e-waste drive, where unwanted household items, electronics and clothing are collected and then sold or recycled, which generates money. The clothing collected will be sold to a charity (at a discounted price) that will use their clothing bank to fund their organization, which is then sold to a for profit thrift store. The E-waste that is collected will be than sold to a processor in Ontario that has been approved by The Ontario Electronic Stewardship program. As you can see it’s a win-win arrangement.
