We’re super excited to introduce you to our Episode 35 podcast guest – Amelia Trumble, CEO of Retold Recycling and one of our presenters at our recent 2023 Rags to Riches Textile Upcycling Summit!

Retold is a mail-based clothing and textile recycling service that you can use from the comfort of your home…to make your home more comfortable! Customers order bags from retoldrecycling.com and they arrive with pre-paid mailing labels attached.  The next step is to fill them up with unwanted textiles from around the house, seal the bags, and drop them in the post.

Amelia and her team are committed to doing the right thing by your old clothes and linens. Their vow, together with their partners is to “sift and sort your goods, sending them to thrift stores, donation centers, recyclers, resellers and up-cyclers. We’re proud to say nothing will go from your Retold bag to a landfill!” One of their standard hashtags, in fact, is #nolandfill. 

The goal of the business is to “tell a new story with your old textiles” and give everything a second life! Leveraging her 20+ year career in digital marketing & e-commerce to launch Retold Recycling, Amelia and her co-Founders sought to build a first of its kind sustainability business focused on eradicating textile-based landfills.
