About Big Blue Truck

Big Blue Truck has collected clothing, shoes, textiles, and small household goods since 1967. Value Village buys what you donate, and that revenue funds Northwest Center's education and employment programs for children and adults with disabilities. Every year, we keep more than 45 million pounds of reusable goods out of landfills.

Organizations can host a clothing drive, sponsor a Blue Bin, or run a recycling event. Call 800-992-2060 to get started.
