Used clothing
Used clothing is the core of what we move. We buy it in three forms:
- ·Mixed rags and institutional clothing: unsorted clothing collected through charitable organizations, a mix of unsold goods and fresh donations that is baled for resale and export.
- ·Credential (original) clothing: untouched, unsorted clothing in the same condition it was donated, coming from donation bins, drop boxes or pickup routes. It must not have been picked through or sorted. Baled or loose.
- ·Closeout and store-return clothing: overstock, discontinued and returned first-quality merchandise being liquidated at reduced prices.
Other used goods
Beyond clothing, we look at full or mixed loads of:
- ·Soft toys (clean, with oversized pieces removed) and hard toys such as games, puzzles, figures, building blocks and craft supplies
- ·Belts, purses, wallets, backpacks, school bags, caps and hats, baled or boxed
- ·Bric-a-brac and kitchenware: dishes, glassware, pots and pans, utensils, storage containers, frames and home decor. No electronics, DVDs, CDs, liquids, cosmetics or large items such as bikes
- ·Used books, hardcover and softcover. No magazines, encyclopedias, damaged books, multimedia, volumes in a series, or loads already scanned for online resale
