Where possible, items that are placed on the sales floor but do not sell are recycled and sold to third party vendors who will send these items to third world countries. This only pertains to clothing and shoes. When The Resale Shop receives items that it cannot sell, such as broken, torn or damaged items or products that have been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, we are forced to dispose of those items for the safety of our customers. The fees for disposal of these items raise our expenses and reduce the revenue available for job-training and employment services.
