What We Accept

  • All types of denim — pants, jackets, shirts, skirts, and more
  • Colored, printed, or embellished denim

(Just be sure items are clean and dry before dropping off)

Where Your Denim Goes

Collected denim is sent to Cyntex Co., where it’s transformed into:

  • Thermal Insulation to regulate building temperatures
  • Acoustic Insulation used in music halls, gyms, and theaters

Why it Matters

Recycling your denim helps keep textile waste out of landfills – 1,600 pairs of jeans diverts one ton of waste from landfills! Repurposing denim also help decrease greenhouse gases (GHG), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and chemicals used when manufacturing new textiles

The Story of Recycled Jeans

 

Can’t Make the Drive?

Stores like Madewell, H&M, and Levi’s often provide year-round denim recycling.
