The Take Back Bag™
$20
We’re making recycling uncomplicated. You’re welcome.
It’s easy: Order a Take Back Bag™. Clear out your closet. Send your filled bag to For Days. Done. You’ll earn $40 in Nation credit for every Take Back Bag™ ordered. The funds never expire, and can be used on your next order. (Yes, really.)
Each TBB saves 1,596 gallons of water, 151 pounds of carbon emissions, and 15 pounds of textile waste.
All Take Back Bags are final sale.
Impact Score: A+
85% off all textiles end up in landfills, and the average American throws out roughly 80lbs of clothes a year. Most items in your Take Back Bag will be responsibly upcycled or downcycled so nothing goes to waste.
What We Love:
Each bag diverts up to 15lbs of fashion waste from landfills, and saves 92lbs of CO2 emissions from the lower atmosphere.
50% of the items sent are downcycled (repurposed into insulation, rags, stuff like that), 45% are resold and upcycled.
What We Don't Love:
5% of items are actual trash and discarded.
As soon as your bag is full and ready to be shipped, scan the QR code on the bag for shipping instructions. You can generate a QR code for drop-off at your nearest Happy Returns location, or print a mailing label for UPS. The QR code on your bag and the Happy Returns QR code are different.
Happy Returns Process:
-
Scan and Register Your Bag: Customers will scan the QR code on their Take Back Bag, log in, and enter their address to register the bag as usual.
-
Choose Your Shipping Method: Happy Returns will be shown as the first option, with UPS also available if the user clicks "Show More Options."
-
Find the Closest Location: Happy Returns will display the nearest UPS Store return bar locations based on the customer’s address (more locations coming soon).
-
QR Code Generation: A QR code will be generated and emailed to the customer for them to use when dropping off their bag at any UPS Happy Returns return bar location.
-
Drop Off: At the UPS Happy Returns return bar, the customer’s QR code will be scanned to complete the drop-off.
That’s it. The process is quick, easy, and hassle-free.
