GreenDrop Associate Supervisor

GreenDrop® is rapidly expanding to make donating lightly used clothing and household items easy, convenient, and eco-friendly.

By partnering with nonprofit organizations, we redirect millions of pounds of quality, pre-owned items away from landfills and back into closets and homes for reuse.

GreenDrop® accepts donations on behalf of our nonprofit partners and pays them for those items, providing critical funding for their missions. Community donated goods are then given a second chance to be loved again in local thrift stores. Learn more about GreenDrop® at gogreendrop.com.
