AA Textile Recycling

AA Textile Recycling is a family-run textile recycler based in Orlando. For more than 30 years the company has sorted second-hand clothing, shoes, accessories, linens, toys and household goods and shipped them abroad. It started as a small sorting business, and the founding family is still involved in sorting, grading and checking each load.

The company collects bulk post-consumer and post-industrial textiles, and every item is inspected by hand and graded by quality, season and intended use. Goods are then divided into reuse, rag, vintage and export streams for the right buyers. Customers can order anything from single bales to complete 40-foot containers.

A typical mixed clothing bale weighs about 1,000 pounds and a shoe bag about 350 pounds, while a 40-foot High Cube container takes roughly 45,000 pounds of packed goods. The company sells to wholesale buyers in Central and South America and in Africa. Orders start with a call, WhatsApp message, email or web form, and the team then loads the container and arranges export to the buyer's port.
