More than 17 million tons of textiles go to landfills every year, but nearly 95% of all textiles are reusable or recyclable. CheckSammy, whose U.S. headquarters is in Dallas, aims to help through its Drop program, which allows clothing retailers, manufacturers, and even multifamily apartment communities to deploy drop bags or bins and schedule one-time or recurring recycling pick-ups.
