We Pickup Clothes Launches Eco-Friendly Home Donation Service to Help Chicago Residents Declutter Sustainably
Chicago-based pickup service makes it easier to reduce waste, support global reuse efforts, and give back to local communities—one bag at a time.
Chicago, Illinois, 23rd June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a bold step toward sustainability and local support, We Pickup Clothes is proud to announce the launch of its new eco-friendly home donation pickup service in the Chicago area. The initiative is designed to make it easier than ever for residents to clear out gently used clothing and household textiles without contributing to landfill waste—while also supporting a greater cause.
The service operates on a simple yet effective premise: residents schedule a pickup online, place their items outside their home on the designated day, and a team from We Pickup Clothes handles the rest. Items are sorted and evaluated for usability. Usable items are sent to underdeveloped countries where they are offered at affordable prices, supporting local economies and giving clothing a new life. Items that are no longer usable are recycled or repurposed wherever possible to reduce environmental impact.
“Chicagoans care deeply about the environment and their community,” said a spokesperson for We Pickup Clothes. “Our service is about creating a sustainable and socially responsible way to declutter. It’s not just about getting rid of clothes—it’s about giving them another chapter, while also contributing to the local community.”
To make an even greater impact locally in 2025, We Pickup Clothes has partnered with the Greater Chicago Food Depository. For every pickup scheduled, the company donates one meal to help address food insecurity across the region. This direct contribution aligns with We Pickup Clothes’ mission to combine environmental responsibility with community engagement.
The process has been intentionally designed for simplicity and efficiency. Residents start by visiting We Pickup Clothes’ official website, entering their zip code, and selecting a convenient pickup date. From there, they simply pack their items in bags or boxes, label them, and leave them outside by 7 a.m. on pickup day. There’s no need for contact, appointments, or driving to donation centers—making this a convenient option for busy households.
“We wanted to remove the common barriers to donation,” the company’s spokesperson explained. “No one should have to choose between sustainability and convenience. Our model allows residents to do something good for the planet and the community with minimal effort.”
Items accepted include men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, accessories, linens, and other household textiles. The company asks that all items be clean, dry, and bagged securely.
Americans send over 11 million tons of textile waste to landfills each year. Much of this waste is composed of clothing that could have been reused or recycled. By offering an easy pickup solution, We Pickup Clothes aims to divert a significant portion of that waste from the landfill and extend the life of usable items.
The donated items that meet quality standards are not resold locally. Instead, they are shipped to underdeveloped countries where they are distributed to secondhand markets, helping to provide affordable clothing options for local communities abroad. This not only diverts waste from local landfills but also helps support microbusinesses and stimulate local economies overseas.
Items that are not suitable for reuse are directed toward textile recycling efforts. Materials can be repurposed into industrial rags, insulation, or other products, minimizing the environmental impact of textile waste.
“Even items that are too worn to wear can serve a purpose,” said the spokesperson. “We work hard to ensure that as little as possible ends up in a landfill.”
Although the items themselves are not distributed within Chicago, the impact is still felt close to home. In 2025, every scheduled pickup will result in a meal being donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a local organization committed to ending hunger in the community. In addition, We Pickup Clothes continues to make ongoing charitable donations to other local groups and programs through the funds generated from the pickup service.
This dual impact—global and local—reflects a growing trend among sustainability-focused organizations: combining environmental action with community investment.
“We believe in doing what we can, where we can,” the company’s spokesperson emphasized. “While our clothing items go on to support communities abroad, the act of scheduling a pickup helps us give back here in Chicago. That balance is important to us.”
By simplifying the process of donation and pairing it with environmental and community-focused outcomes, We Pickup Clothes hopes to foster a more mindful approach to consumption and disposal. When residents realize their unwanted items can serve a purpose beyond the trash bin—and that their action results in a meal donated locally—they become part of a larger movement toward conscious living.
The company encourages residents to schedule regular pickups as part of their seasonal cleaning routines. Rather than letting items accumulate in closets and basements, this ongoing effort can keep homes clutter-free while consistently contributing to global reuse and local relief efforts.
“It’s about more than just spring cleaning or an occasional purge,” said the spokesperson. “We’re encouraging a shift in how we all think about clothing and household goods. If it’s not being used, it could be helping someone else and supporting a meal right here in our city.”
Though the current focus is on serving residents within the broader Chicago area, We Pickup Clothes plans to continue expanding its reach based on demand. The company monitors interest across surrounding neighborhoods and cities to determine where pickup services may be added in the future.
Additionally, We Pickup Clothes partners with businesses, schools, and residential communities interested in hosting donation drives or scheduling bulk pickups. These efforts multiply the impact, collecting more reusable items while engaging local groups in sustainability practices.
“We’ve found that when people come together to participate in a collective cause, the results are incredible,” the spokesperson noted. “Whether it’s an apartment complex organizing a community donation week or a company encouraging employees to clean out their closets, the possibilities for impact grow quickly.”
As We Pickup Clothes continues to grow and evolve, the core mission remains clear: reduce textile waste, support communities abroad through affordable clothing access, and contribute to local needs here in Chicago.
The decision to donate a meal for every pickup in 2025 underscores the company’s commitment to tangible, measurable action. It’s not just about creating a feel-good experience for customers—it’s about ensuring that each pickup leads to a real benefit for someone, somewhere.
Residents in Chicago who are ready to clear space in their homes and contribute to a more sustainable future can learn more or schedule a pickup at We Pickup Clothes.

Nostalgic Comeback Classic ICQ RockPaperScissors Game Reborn as NinjaRPS for Modern Mobile Players
Retro messaging game reimagined with fast-paced ninja action, now available on iOS and Android
Israel, 24th Jun 2025, Long before emojis ruled conversations and mobile games flooded the app stores, there was ICQ, the chat app that quietly introduced one of the internet’s earliest multiplayer games: Rock-Paper-Scissors. Now, that simple but addictive mini-game is back, reimagined for a new generation as NinjaRPS, a sleek, action-packed remake for mobile, designed to hit right in the nostalgia.
Launched by NexEra Labs, NinjaRPS is now available on Google Play and the App Store, blending the familiar strategy of Rock-Paper-Scissors with the thrill of ninja duels, stylized animations, and retro-inspired visuals.
“We wanted to bring back something that felt personal, something people used to play between chats, just for fun,” said the developer. “NinjaRPS is our tribute to those early internet days, but with a new layer of energy and style.”
From Chatroom Classic to Combat Arena
NinjaRPS takes the core mechanics of the original ICQ game and wraps them in a fast-paced ninja theme. Players face off in animated duels where each move, Rock, Paper, or Scissors, triggers a ninja attack, block, or dodge. The game is easy to learn, hard to master, and endlessly replayable.
The game’s retro pixel art and fast-loading design are nods to the lightweight charm of the original ICQ era. At the same time, new features like avatar selection, local play, and unlockable content offer depth for today’s mobile gamers.
Download Now
NinjaRPS is free to play, with optional in-app features for customization.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/il/app/ninjarps-rock-paper-scissors/id6468565440
Official Site: www.ninjarps.com
Built for Retro Fans & First-Time Players
Whether you remember playing RPS battles through ICQ in the early 2000s or you’re discovering it for the first time, NinjaRPS captures that same instant-fun energy. It’s a perfect pick-up-and-play game for casual moments, competitive challenges, or simply reliving a bit of digital history this time, with a ninja twist.
“Some games didn’t need a storyline, they just worked,” the developer added. “We brought that feeling back, but gave it flair.”

To date, the programme has published 230 EPD reports and registered over 6,500 organizations—making it the world’s largest database for steel-related environmental performance. Its mission is to support carbon neutrality and low-carbon transformation by providing standardized life cycle data to all stakeholders.
