Established Textile Collection Business with Expansion Potential in VA
Business Description
stablished textile collection and recycling business serving the Richmond and Hampton Roads markets. The sale includes 30 commercial textile collection bins positioned at an established network of collection sites, along with existing collection routes, trained employees, operating procedures, and storage and trailer arrangements.
The physical assets represent substantial replacement value. Based on a January 2026 franchisor invoice, 10 new collection bins plus freight cost $39,245, implying a delivered replacement cost of approximately $117,735 for 30 new bins. The $75,000 asking price therefore provides a buyer the opportunity to acquire an existing network of bins and locations at substantially less than the cost of purchasing equivalent new equipment and establishing an operation from scratch.
The business is positioned for expansion through additional collection sites and increased route density. There are multiple prospective locations interested in hosting additional bins, providing an incoming owner with opportunities to expand the existing footprint. Additional bins may also be financed through the franchisor for qualified buyers.
This opportunity may be particularly attractive to an owner-operator or entrepreneur who can focus on increasing collection volume, improving route density, and leveraging the existing infrastructure. Seller will provide transition assistance and training, with additional ongoing operational support available through the franchisor.
The business is being offered for sale due to the owner's changing family and professional commitments.

An owner with existing recycling operations or route-based infrastructure may be able to achieve additional operational efficiencies and continued growth.
