Chicago Textile Recycling provides textile recycling outlets and fundraising opportunities for area organizations, businesses and municipalities. By collecting used clothing, shoes, and household items for reuse and recycling, Chicago Textile Recycling diverts over 2.5 million pounds of waste from area landfills annually. As the dedicated recycling division, Chicago Textile Recycling works symbiotically with our parent company, Wipeco, Inc. to provide a closed-loop recycling solution for the local Chicagoland area. Founded in 1960 and family owned and operated, Wipeco, Inc. is Chicagoland's Premier Wiping Rag Supplier, selling recycled wiping cloths nation-wide and extending the life of discarded textiles through repurposing.

We Reduce solid waste through the life extension of textiles while also reducing energy & water consumption through the distribution of reclaimed wipers (recycled rags) vs. manufactured. The use of reclaimed wipers support a cleaner, healthier environment.

We Reuse gently worn clothing through wholesaling or exporting to less than developed or developing countries (secondhand clothing as well as household an industrial linens).

We Recycle old garments, towels and institutional linens as they are transformed to wiping cloths needed for industrial use.
