What We Do?
All American Recycling has over 25 years of experience in textile recycling. Based in North Jersey, we’ve used our expertise to support nonprofits like Crime Stoppers and the NJSPCA.
Through the efforts of our volunteers, staff, and partners, we’ve diverted over 16 million pounds of textiles from landfills, giving unwanted clothing a second life. Our initiatives help New Jersey municipalities reduce waste, meet recycling goals, and qualify for state grants.
If you're a municipality or nonprofit interested in partnering with us, please contact us to schedule an appointment.
Our Causes
Who We Are?
Changing The World One Donation At A Time
All American Recycling is a for-profit company with a mission to make a real difference in people’s lives and the environment. When you donate your unwanted clothing, shoes, toys, and other textiles, your items don’t just go to waste—they go to work helping others around the world. By donating, you directly contribute to a global cycle that provides affordable, quality clothing to communities in need, particularly in developing regions of South America and Africa.
For families in these areas, everyday necessities like clothing can be hard to find and even harder to afford. Your gently-used items are sent to local thrift stores and markets abroad, where they become valuable resources for people who need them most. A coat you no longer wear could keep someone warm during a harsh season; a pair of shoes you donate might help a child walk to school comfortably.
The impact of your donation extends far beyond just providing clothing. It creates and sustains millions of jobs globally, from collecting and sorting to selling and distributing textiles. By keeping these items in circulation, you’re not only helping people gain access to much-needed goods at affordable prices, but you’re also supporting local economies, allowing families to earn a steady income. And it doesn’t stop there. We also partner with nonprofits, directing a portion of proceeds to support their vital work in communities near and far.
This means that your simple act of donating can contribute to both environmental sustainability and social change, making a positive impact on countless lives. So why donate to All American Recycling? Because your donation makes a difference in ways you may not have imagined—providing essential clothing to families around the world, creating job opportunities in developing countries, and supporting charitable causes. It’s a powerful way to turn what you no longer need into hope, support, and opportunity for others.

Our Core Feature
What Happens to Your Donations?
Our team carefully sorts through donated textiles to separate reusable items from those that need recycling. Reusable items are redistributed and resold to communities in need, while others are processed into new materials.
Your donations can become someone’s treasure!
Recycled textiles are turned into valuable products like insulation and rags, while gently used items are resold and distributed directly to those in need; supporting communities locally and globally.
Together, we can create lasting change.
