How Thrift Stores and Charities Can Sell Unsold Clothing to an Exporter

Every rack of clothing that does not sell in your store still has value, and an exporter can turn it into steady revenue for your organization. Toro Textile Recycling buys at source in the United States and ships reusable clothing, shoes and household goods to markets around the world, where they are worn and used again.

What we buy

• Unsold clothing from thrift store floors
• Donations that are not right for your sales floor
• Used shoes, including single shoes
• Toys, housewares, pots and pans, bags, belts and caps
• Customer returns, overstock and shelf pulls from retailers

We buy salvage goods from thrift stores and charities: the clothing, shoes and household goods that did not sell or never reached the sales floor. If you are unsure whether something fits, ask us.

Why sell to an exporter

1. Revenue from goods that would otherwise wait in storage. Unsold stock becomes income for your programs and your stores.
2. More floor space. Clearing the back room keeps fresh stock moving onto the sales floor.
3. A reuse-first outcome. Wearable garments go to markets where people buy them, wear them and value them.
4. One partner for many product types. Clothing, shoes and hard goods can leave in the same collection.

Where your donations go

We grade every item for usability, and sorted products are separated against written standards. Wearable clothing and shoes go to buyers across Central America, South America, Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, where secondhand clothing supports traders, shop owners and families. Items that cannot be worn are directed to countries where they can be used and recycled. Your donors' generosity keeps working long after it leaves your store.

2. We agree terms. We agree pricing and a pickup schedule, and we pay in advance.
3. Our trucks pick up promptly and bring the goods to our Houston warehouse at 6110 Griggs Rd.
