Where It Goes

What Happens to Every Kilogram

Of every 100 kg collected, here's how we put it to use.

45%

Donated & Reused

Wearable clothing and accessories are redistributed to charities, welfare homes, and community organisations across the country.

40%

Recycled into Raw Fibre

Non-wearable textiles are shredded and processed into industrial fibres used for insulation, padding, and new textile manufacturing.

15%

Resold Commercially

Quality second-hand items are sold through partner resellers and op shops, extending the life cycle and generating revenue that funds our operations.

Zero to landfill, 100% diverted
The remaining 0% is handled through certified waste-to-energy partners.

Social Impact

Impact Beyond the Bin

Yellow Bin actively supports underprivileged communities by redistributing wearable donations directly to shelters, welfare homes, and refugee centres. Recycling a piece of clothing doesn't just help the planet, it helps a person.
