I was having trouble with mailing my bag. I contacted trashie and they took care of me immediately. I love this company!

Completely useless rewards. They offer the same coupons that the storefronts give you without you having to purchase a trashie bag. Trashie rewards exchange for a 15% coupon meanwhile the storefront offers the same 15% coupon without a minimum purchase and without you have to purchase a trashie bag. You really are not getting rewarded for recycling. Instead they trick you into giving stuff that you could have just donated or sold. The whole auction thing they had of stuff that was sent to them seemed so scummy. They need to give actual rewards that are a step above the discounts already offered by the storefront. Otherwise you are essentially paying Trashie to recycle for you. Don't waste your money.

I love being able to send old items to a safe place, where they won’t end up in a landfill or the ocean. I had some questions about what can be recycled in the Tech Take Back bag and customer service was great! However, I find it difficult to find ways to use my Trashie Cash. The items available for sale are SOOOO expensive that I wouldn’t normally even purchase them. Then, to use the rewards/“cash” at more affordable shops, you have to almost pay 3x just to make a purchase: first for the recycling bags themselves, then pay for a discount using Trashie Cash, and then pay for the actual item. And I don’t understand the whole chrome extension thing. It’s fancy and prob easy if you’re sitting at your desktop, but nowadays, who wants to keep downloading/adding more data, where privacy is even further compromised. Call me old, but even just finding shops online that accept the rewards is difficult.

I love that there's a way to sustainably recycle my clothes. Such a great company, and customer support is super helpful too.

Quick to help when QR codes weren’t working. Seriously simple and love recycling old clothes to earn money towards new pieces.

I had a problem with my phone camera scanning the bag QR code. Barbara fixed the problem immediately and I was able to mail the bag today. So happy to get such a fast responseand service.

I purchased a three-pack of the Take Back Bags - $45. Filled each with clothing, shoes, linens, etc., and returned them via UPS. The return process was fairly easy using a QR code then dropping the bag off at my neighborhood UPS Store, so yay for that. My return bags earned me 90 points total, which I thought would be like $90 as a gift card to use for things I actually need -- gas, groceries, cat food from Chewy. Instead, you use the points to purchase small discounts on goods and services from brands I’ve not heard of or to purchase small discounts from brands I’m already buying from elsewhere -- and if I watch the sales, I don’t really need the Trashie points to get the discounts. I did use some of my points to buy a small credit to use the next time I book a hotel I’ve used in the past in NYC, but when I went to use the middleman’s website required for making reservations and using the credit, the prices were higher than what I had paid going directly to the hotel’s website. I like what Trashie is trying to do -- reduce the textiles that end up in landfills -- but the point system currently feels like it encourages people to buy more stuff. It just feels wasteful.

Barbara was very quick to respond and did a great job of solving my problem.
