This fall, we are revamping our work in the Richmond area with Pop Up Stop events at the Richmond Marathon, the VCU Symposium on Sustainable Energy and Environment, and more! 

Our History

In April 2022, we launched the first Pop Up Stop event on Virginia Commonwealth University's Monroe Park Campus. We wanted to inform the university community about the environmental impacts of textile waste. The response was well received and we have continued to spread our call to action by hosting permanent boxes at Brandt Hall, the AFO building, and Fashion Department.  

Virginia State University's Fashion Department became our first collegiate partner as we joined their March 2024 AgFest Block Party!

After the items are collected, sorted, and weighed, our team takes it to the Goodwill recycling plant to be further processed or reused again.

In June 2024, with the help of Al and Abrie at Goodwill Industries, we made a huge drop-off of 250 pounds of textile waste diverted from the landfill.
