♻️ What do you get?
Other than getting the opportunity to save ~ 45 lbs of your DIY scraps from being wasted, you get the ease and convenience of recycling from your studio or home! The Scraps Bag is only for scraps.
📏 How big is a Scraps Bag?
Each Retold Scraps Bag can hold up to approximately 5 lbs. Bag dimensions are 15x15x4”, that's about the size of a pillowcase. Think about how much you're recycling (one sewing thread can take more than 50 years to fully decompose)!
🧶 What can go into a Scraps Bag?
Any and all DIY textile scraps! Leftover fabric from a quilting project? Those pesky threads after a sewing job? Yarn which is too small for your next project? It can all go into The Scraps Bag.
For more information please refer to our FAQs.
🚫 What can’t go in the scraps bags:
Leather | Coated textiles (PVC, polyurethane, etc.) | Scrims using plastic | Down filled items | Wet or Chemical residue on the materials | Neoprene
🤗 Looking to recycle your clothes?
The recycling process of textiles is different from the recycling of clothes, but not to worry we’ve got you covered! Try The Threesome or The Annual Subscription to become a pro recycler!
HOW IT WORKS
GATHER YOUR GEAR & get your bags
Collect all the textiles in your home - that's right, we take pretty much everything*
Then order your bag or sign up for a Subscription. Subscriptions are great for families, people who love shopping or those who need a prompt to cleanse... (Hands up if you drive around with bags of clothes in your trunk?!)
DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT
Fill your bag - with one sock or cram it full - and drop it off to your post box, mail room, door man etc. Each bag has a pre-paid label attached so you'll never have to wait in line at the Post Office.
We'll then begin telling a new story with your unwanted items...
WE'LL DO THE RIGHT THING
Together with our partners, we'll sift and sort your goods, sending them to thrift stores, donation centers, recyclers, resellers and up-cyclers. We're proud to say nothing will go from your Retold bag to landfill!

I'm so glad that you now have the scraps bag. I do some quilting and the scraps bag is great for getting rid of the scraps or unusable pieces of fabric. Now I wish you would make larger bags to put blankets or drapes into. I've had to cut them up. (they were not reusable).
