The City of Lynn is partnering with Helpsy to reduce textile waste through an at-home textile collection program. To learn more visit Helpsy’s website or the City of Lynn’s website. There are also Helpsy collection bins at Pickering Middle School and Sewell-Anderson Elementary School.

Schedule a home pickup

Drivers make home pickups between 7am and 5pm. Please pick a day and have your clothes by your front door in clearly labeled plastic bags. In order to help minimize our emissions impact, please only request a pickup when you have 3 or more bags.

Have questions about home pickup service? Read the Home Pickup FAQ.

If you have questions, you can email info@helpsy.co or call 800-244-6350

What is accepted?

For re-wear, reuse, and recycling, we accept the following items in any condition for all ages and genders so long as they are clean, dry, and odorless. Everything should be kept dry in a closed, plastic bag. Recycling your clothes shouldn’t be hard, we’re here to help!

Clothing items, shoes, and home textiles will be accepted during the Department of Public Works’ Bulky Waste Item Days (also known as Covanta Days) through Helpsy.
