A few years back, writer Patricia Marx set out to declutter her entire life for a piece called "A Guide to Getting Rid of Almost Everything." She tried selling things online, donating to thrift shops, and tracking down specialty organizations that take items regular charities won't, like art supplies, old mascara wands, and, yes, bras. That's where The Bra Recyclers came in. We were so honored to be named in a national publication for doing exactly what we set out to do back in 2008: give bras a second life instead of a landfill.

The Bra Recyclers and The Undie Chest have donated 7,932 pounds in 2026 while creating measurable environmental and community impact.
