clothing bins

Textile collection boxes

Clothing bins are large outdoor containers where people donate unwanted garments and textiles.

Typically metal or plastic boxes found in parking lots, outside stores, or near community centers, they collect items for charitable organizations, recycling programs, or resale operations: I dropped off some old sweaters at the clothing bins behind the grocery store.

Also called donation bins or textile bins.
