Frequently Asked Questions
At Clean House Recycling, we’re here to make giving back simple and impactful. These FAQs were created to help our neighbors understand what we do, what we accept, and how together we can support local charities and keep usable goods out of landfills.”
Do we recycle rags?
We don’t recycle rags. Instead, we focus on up-cycling items that can still be used—such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, and small household goods.
Are you for profit or non-profit?
We are a for-profit company with a purpose. A portion of our proceeds is donated to nonprofit organizations, helping to support local causes and communities.
Where can I recycle unusable items?
At this time, we’re unable to accept unwearable or unusable items, and we don’t currently partner with a provider that does. If you discover a recycling option, please share it with us—we’d love to pass that information along to others in the community.
Do you do house pick-ups?
Yes! If you live near one of our clothing bins and have five or more bags ready, we can arrange a home pick-up. Simply contact us to schedule a convenient time.
What items can I donate?
We accept gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, and small household items that can be reused. If you’re not sure whether an item qualifies, feel free to reach out—we’ll be happy to help. Please ensure items are clean and dry before donating to help us get them reused quickly. For more information about items that you can donate, visit our accepted items page.
What organizations do you donate to?
We’re proud to support incredible partners like Catholic Charities USA, Disabled Veterans National Foundation, Manna on Main Street, St. Jude’s, NJ Aid For Animals, Colon Cancer Coalition, and Give to Receive —each one doing amazing work in our communities. Know an organization that deserves to be part of our mission? You can easily nominate a charity using our form, and if selected, a portion of proceeds will go toward their cause.
Still have questions? We’d love to hear from you. Reach out anytime and our team will be happy to help.
