Helpsy’s Mission: Did you know that 85% of clothes end up in the trash? Did you know that disposing of textiles is now illegal in the state of Massachusetts? As a Public Benefit Corporation and a Certified B Corp with an environmental and social mission, we’re proud to have diverted over 31 MM pounds of clothing last year. Our mission is to keep clothes out of the trash and create honorable work for all of our employees. We collect clothing primarily from metal bins in parking lots at shopping centers and cities such as Boston, Cambridge etc. Our company was founded eight years ago by three long time friends Alex, Dan and Dave who believe in compensating and incentivizing the team for hard work and that all employees should be shareholders in the company. That’s why as a clothing collection driver you will be compensated and paid for each pound of clothing you collect. It’s a hard job and we’re looking for hard workers who are eager to watch their paychecks grow with each bag of clothing collected from a bin or thrift store.
