Better Earth Textile Recycling (BETR) is a green, for-profit organization working throughout Southeastern Wisconsin to reduce textile waste by finding new life for old clothes. Through community programs, fund drives, business initiatives and other innovative collection efforts, we bring unwanted clothing, belts, shoes and other textiles to people in need around the world. By putting these discard

ed items back in the use cycle, we keep them out of landfills and help to conserve the earth’s precious natural resources. What’s more, a portion of the value of all donated textiles goes directly to support local schools, religious organizations and non-profit organizations.
