Making Clothing Donation Easy and Impactful
At We Pickup Clothes, we’re passionate about providing an effortless, sustainable solution for discarding unwanted clothing and household items. Founded with the goal of keeping clothes out of landfills, we serve Illinois residents with a free, convenient, and contactless pickup service that benefits communities and the environment alike.
We ensure every item finds a purpose: usable clothes and shoes are donated to those in need, while items in poor condition are recycled into materials like medical rags, rubber for tennis courts, and even new fabrics and shoes.

We ensure all items find a purpose. Usable items get rehomed locally or internationally, while unwearable ones are recycled into materials like rags, rubber, or even new clothing.
