We’re making recycling uncomplicated. You’re welcome.
It’s easy: Order a Take Back Bag™. Clear out your closet. Send your filled bag to For Days. Done. You’ll earn $40 in Nation credit for every Take Back Bag™ ordered. The funds never expire, and can be used on your next order. (Yes, really.)
Each TBB saves 1,596 gallons of water, 151 pounds of carbon emissions, and 15 pounds of textile waste.
All Take Back Bags are final sale.
Impact Score: A+
85% off all textiles end up in landfills, and the average American throws out roughly 80lbs of clothes a year. Most items in your Take Back Bag will be responsibly upcycled or downcycled so nothing goes to waste.
What We Love:
Each bag diverts up to 15lbs of fashion waste from landfills, and saves 92lbs of CO2 emissions from the lower atmosphere.
50% of the items sent are downcycled (repurposed into insulation, rags, stuff like that), 45% are resold and upcycled.
What We Don't Love:
5% of items are actual trash and discarded.
Ready to send back your Take Back Bag? Here's how it works:
-
Scan and Register Your Bag: Once your bag is full, scan the QR code printed on the bag. You'll log in, and enter your address to register the bag—just like usual.
-
Choose Your Shipping Method: You’ll see the option to drop off at a nearby Happy Returns location first. Prefer UPS? Just click "Show More Options" to print a UPS label instead.
-
Find the Closest Location: Based on your address, we’ll show you the closest Happy Returns bars (located inside UPS Stores).
-
QR Code Generation: A unique Happy Returns QR code will be emailed to you—this is different from the one printed on your bag.
-
Drop Off: Head to your selected UPS Store, show them your Happy Returns QR code, and hand off your bag. Easy.
That’s it. The process is quick, easy, and hassle-free.
