Our waste is a resource.

Dumpster VVitch Coalition is dedicated to keeping textiles out of the landfill and in people’s hands.

We do this by collecting and redistributing textiles in any condition or stage of their life. Materials and excellent condition are labeled for second hand resale or further donated.

Materials not deemed fit retail will be sorted and made available to local creators to repair, re-create, or turn into usable goods.
