About us
A family trade,
two generations deep.
From Houston roots to a family of companies with international reach.
Our beginnings
Green Gold Recycling is a second-generation company with deep roots in the pre-loved clothing industry. Our story began in 1993, when one of our founders launched his first used clothing business in Houston, Texas. With a focus on customer satisfaction and product quality, the operation quickly grew to multiple facilities.
In late 2018, we expanded beyond the United States with the launch of Green Gold Recycling in the Dominican Republic. Within its first year, the company created more than 100 jobs and processed over 7 million pounds of recovered clothing for reuse.
Today, a team of 150+ people continues that legacy from Santo Domingo Este. Delivering the best in customer service and product quality, while doing our part to make the planet a better place.
