About Us
At USAgain (pronounced "Use Again"), our mission is to be a global leader in the secondhand clothing industry, creating value for PEOPLE, PLANET, and PROFIT.
- PEOPLE: We support communities by making sustainable fashion accessible and fostering ethical business practices.
- PLANET: We conserve resources and actively combat climate change by extending the life cycle of clothing.
- PROFIT: We sustain our operations and growth, ensuring long-term impact and innovation in the industry.
Through the collection of used clothes and shoes, our Clothing Drop Spots provide a convenient and sustainable solution for communities to extend the life of textiles and promote a culture of reuse. By collaborating with local sustainability programs, we help increase textile reuse, support resource conservation, and contribute to positive environmental change—all while keeping good, reusable clothing in circulation.
About The Role
The Sorting Center is a key operational hub of USAgain, where donated clothing and shoes are carefully sorted, organized, and prepared for distribution to Twice Threaded retail locations. This facility ensures that all items are processed efficiently, meeting quality standards and supporting USAgain’s commitment to sustainability, reuse, and community impact.
Mission Statement
Our mission aligns with the growing efforts of municipalities and local governments to keep good, reusable textiles in circulation and promote a culture of reuse. As cities adopt circular economy initiatives, our collection points provide a proven, convenient solution for communities to extend the life of clothing and shoes. By collaborating with local sustainability programs, we help increase textile reuse, support resource conservation, and contribute to positive environmental change at the community level—all while reducing the burden on traditional waste management systems.
