My Recycle Team
TGI buys used summer clothing, paired shoes and household linens by the pound at its Phoenix front office.
Joining is free. TGI sells nothing to collectors: no fee, kit, required purchase, paid training or subscription, ever.
What TGI buys
- Summer clothing
- Clean, dry, wearable warm-weather clothing of any size: T-shirts, shorts, skirts, dresses, light pants, swimwear, athletic wear, pajamas, scrubs and children's summer clothing.
- Paired shoes
- Wearable pairs kept together: sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, dress and casual shoes, heels, work and cowboy boots, kids' shoes.
- Linens
- Clean, dry, unstuffed flat household textiles: sheets, pillowcases, empty duvet covers, towels, tablecloths, light curtains, unfilled blankets.
Rates per accepted pound
Flat cents per accepted pound, never a percent. TGI pays team bonuses on top of base pay; nothing is taken from anyone.
| Category | Your own pounds | Level 1 team bonus | Level 2 team bonus | Level 3 team bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Summer clothing | 13¢ a pound | 2.5¢ a pound | 1.5¢ a pound | 1¢ a pound |
| Paired shoes | 13¢ a pound | 2.5¢ a pound | 1.5¢ a pound | 1¢ a pound |
| Linens | 5.8¢ a pound | 1.25¢ a pound | 0.75¢ a pound | 0.5¢ a pound |
Level 1 = collectors you personally sponsored; level 2 = the collectors they sponsored; level 3 = the next. A team bonus is paid only while that sponsor is active. There is no signup bonus and no pay for recruiting.
How it works
- Sign up on this site with a sponsor's referral code, or the starter code MRTEAM26. You sign the collector agreement, two Arizona contractor forms and a substitute Form W-9 on screen.
- On your first visit to the front office, bring a government photo ID with the same name. You can come with or without items.
- Book a 30-minute slot in your account and bring clean, dry items in your own bags.
- TGI weighs and grades each category on a certified scale while you watch, you sign the ownership pledge, and TGI emails your receipt.
- TGI pays every Monday by ACH for the week before. Balances under $10.00 carry forward to the next week.
