Clothing donation and recycling in Victoria BC Canada, done with ethics.

FREE pick up in most areas of Greater Victoria, including from Sooke to Sidney.

We PAY YOU 25 cents per pound for your unwanted clothes and donate many items to local families in need, local charities and non-profits, all while diverting tonnes of old clothing out of landfills.

WHY DO WE PAY? Because families in need cannot. Please think of us first, and remember us when you have clothing you no longer need, in our goal to help out others.

Our priority is clothing for children of all ages however we also have huge demand for youth, young adults and adults!

Please ensure all clothing is laundered, and free from stains, holes, rips, tears, etc., so we can rehome as soon as possible.

Anything that is still in wearable condition but cannot be rehomed after our best efforts, such as very unique items, dated fashion, etc., is sold online and the funds donated to local charities and non-profits.

Don St Germain
Don St Germain grew up in a family with very little extra to spare and strongly believes in giving back to others in every way possible. Surrounded by clothing from a recent pickup, these items have been sorted, laundered and will be donated.

Overflowing clothing bins
Dropping off several bags of sorted and laundered clothing to the Sandy Merriman House, often two or three times a month personally by Don St Germain.
