About American Clothing Pick Up
A New Jersey 501(c)(3) nonprofit making clothing donation convenient, accessible and free for donors.
OUR STORY
From a Community Initiative to a Registered Nonprofit
American Clothing Pick Up began about seven years ago as a community clothing collection initiative. It was started to make clothing donations easier for people across New Jersey, while supporting underserved communities and keeping reusable clothing in use.
As the work grew, it was formally established as a nonprofit organization. Today we operate as American Clothing Donation INC, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and serve donors under our public name, American Clothing Pick Up.
OUR MISSION

Our mission is to make donating convenient and accessible while promoting clothing reuse and supporting communities through responsible collection and redistribution.
American Clothing Donation INC provides free residential clothing donation pickup services. We help connect reusable donations with charities, nonprofits, community organizations and textile reuse channels.
WHAT WE DO
Making Donating Easy
Instead of asking donors to drive to a drop-off location, we come to them.
Free Residential Pickup
Donors request a pickup online or by text, leave their donation outside, and our driver collects it at no cost.
Collection and Transportation
Our primary role is collecting donations along planned routes and transporting them to organizations and reuse partners.
Promoting Clothing Reuse
Every pickup helps keep reusable clothing and textiles in circulation and out of landfills.
WHO BENEFITS
Supporting Communities Through Reuse
After pickup, donated items are transported to organizations and textile reuse partners for further processing, redistribution or reuse.
Shelters & Clothing Banks
Homeless shelters and clothing banks serving people in need.
Charities & Churches
Nonprofits and churches running community outreach.
Family Assistance
Family assistance programs and community resource centers.
Textile Reuse
