- Planet_Aid abstract "Planet Aid is a non-profit organization founded in 1997 and registered under the laws of Massachusetts; it does business in 23 states nationwide.Planet Aid's primary activity is the collection of clothing and other items through donation bins in public places. Planet Aid partners with local businesses and other organizations to place bins on their property so that the public can access them easily. The aim is to make it more convenient for the public to recycle and thus increase recycling rates. As more textiles are recycled, Planet Aid argues, there is less waste being disposed of in landfills. Recycling used clothing and shoes also contributes to reduced emissions of greenhouse gases. It also helps to save tax dollars by reducing the amount of waste cities must haul from residences. To help achieve its objectives, Planet Aid educates and encourages the public to recycle unwanted clothing or to otherwise repurpose them.The Better Business Bureau recognizes Planet Aid as an accredited charity:\"In finding that Planet Aid meets BBB Charity Standard 13, which addresses the accuracy of the charity's allocation of expenses, BBB WGA considered the following among other things. Planet Aid's primary activity is the collection of clothing and other items through donation bins in public places. Part of the charity's stated mission is the protection of natural habitats through the recycling of these donated items. Planet Aid's position is that, by collecting and selling these products, it is keeping them out of landfills that have a negative impact on the environment. Based on this, Planet Aid considers costs associated with the bins used to collect items to be serving both a programmatic (recycling) and fund raising purpose. In 2013, Planet Aid split these bin costs evenly between both programs and fund raising. In view of the above, BBB WGA is reporting that Planet Aid meets this standards but will revisit this circumstance if there is a significant change in the allocation of bin expenses.\"Charities like Planet Aid that collect used clothing sell them both domestically and on the international market. Planet Aid indicates that it sells the donated textiles it collects to support sustainable development in impoverished communities around the world. It also claims that since 1997, it has given more than $90 million in support of over 60 projects in 15 countries.
