Frequently Asked Questions

Contact UsWhy is EkoLinq a better solution than other collectors?
EkoLinq offers 100% free services and accepts both reusable and damaged items—something many collectors do not. Choosing EkoLinq supports a family-owned local business and keeps more textiles out of landfills.
Does the quality of my items matter?
We accept both reusable and damaged items. Please just make sure they aren’t wet, moldy, exposed to chemicals, or biohazardous materials.
What happens to my items?
Whenever possible we reuse the textiles in their original form. If reuse is not possible, then the materials get recycled (for example, turned into “shoddy” fibres for low-grade textile use).
Is there a minimum amount required for my pickup?
No, there is no minimum amount needed to schedule a pickup. However, collecting more items before scheduling helps make our process more efficient.
Does EkoLinq offer tax deductible receipts?
No, we do not offer tax deductible receipts as we are not a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
