Helpsy
Recycling Center in Woburn, Massachusetts
About This Location
Helpsy is a Certified B Corp clothing and textile recycler, and its warehouse at 78-G Olympia Ave in Woburn is the Massachusetts collection hub where donated bags are compacted and shipped for sorting. Helpsy keeps clothing, shoes, and household textiles out of the trash through hundreds of blue drop-off bins across the state and free home pickup in participating towns. The Woburn address is primarily a warehouse rather than a staffed public counter, so most residents donate through a nearby bin or by scheduling a pickup. Helpsy accepts items in any condition as long as they are clean and dry.
