Wearable Collections is a NYC based company focused on keeping clothing, textiles and shoes out of landfills while generating funds for charities.
Long before Al Gore made it fashionable to be eco-friendly, a group of friends living in NYC came up with the idea for Wearable Collections. We must admit that we had ulterior motives for starting a clothing recycling company.
Walkable Collections, a subsidiary of Walkable Collections focuses specifically on recycling shoes. That has been our mission since day one. Walkable Collections came about from the idea that when we pre-sort shoes out of our collection stream, we can keep more of them out of landfills.
While we love serving our local region, the New York City Metro area, we couldn’t help but be compelled by all the messages we received by those outside the region requesting our service. Walkable Collections allows us to have a a further reach and therefore a greater impact nationwide. We are excited to bring this program to you and hope together we can minimize shoe waste.
