As one of the largest used clothing collectors in the Northeast, Helpsy is uniquely capable of handling a wide variety of apparel items - in various conditions, styles and categories. We work with apparel, footwear and accessories businesses directly to give their inventory a second life within the secondhand market.

We accept (and in some cases, purchase):

• Customer Returns
• Overstock/Out of Season
• Retired Rentals
• Damages
• Misprints
• Samples
• Miscellaneous/Unknown Items

When brands partner with Helpsy to divert their end-of-life products from the landfill, we can estimate their positive environmental impact. This data can be shared with internal teams, or in external materials to communicate efforts towards sustainability.

Helpsy also captures data from items collected through our network of bins & thrift store partners. For example, we can give a brand specific information about the condition level of the items their consumers have discarded - which can inform additional R&D and product-level decision making.

For items that are not fit for resale, Helpsy works with brands to recycle their items. We can either recycle the goods that come through our collection network, or the products that the brand provides. Helpsy has a variety of recycling partner solutions, to meet differing brand needs and requirements.

Furthering our commitment to reducing waste and promoting circular practices, Helpsy offers a suite of additional services designed to transform the way fashion brands handle their inventory, including:

• Returns processing (with condition checks)
• Product photography for resale
• Certified downcycling through 3rd party service providers (costs vary) 
• Charitable fundraising on behalf of the brand
