Sell Clothing

Have items from this list? Great! Follow these easy steps:

Step 1:

Lay your items flat in one tote container no larger than 18 gallons. Lids preferred!

Here’s the key: all items must be freshly laundered within a few days of your drop-off.

Think “washed this week” — not “last summer when the bin went to the basement.”

We’re keeping our racks filled with clothing that looks, smells, and feels fresh for every shopper. Our high standards are what make Children’s Orchard Amesbury special—and your care helps us keep it that way.

We kindly ask that you:

  • Bring only one container per seller per appointment.
  • Do not book multiple appointments or bring multiple containers on the same day.
  • If scheduling multiple drop-offs, leave at least 4 days between appointments so we can finish your first bin before you bring the next.

Note: Larger containers can be difficult and unsafe for our team to lift and move, so nothing over 18 gallons will be accepted.

Step 2:

Book Clothing Drop Off

If there are no available dates left on the calendar it means we are fully booked for this round (9/24/25 to 10/15/25). We will update this page and post on social media and via email when more appointments are released.

Step 3:

Drop off your items ANYTIME on the day of your appointment. Our Buyers will process your items in the order received (usually 1–3 days). When ready, we will contact you with your cash and store credit offers (store credit is 25% more).

Step 4:

To accept the CASH offer you must return within 48 hours of completion for payment. After that, your payment reverts to the store credit amount.

Step 5:

You can choose to donate the items we did not purchase, or they are held for pick-up for 48 hours after your buy is processed. After that timeframe, items not purchased & containers are donated to Community Action in Amesbury.

Tips for Sellers:

  • Only bring clothing items we are currently buying (we release a new list every 3 weeks)
  • All clothing should be freshly laundered and free from pet hair and odor
  • It should be in great condition and currently in style – made within the last 3–5 years
  • Outfits, pajamas, and sets should be together with all pieces included
  • Avoid bringing items with stains, rips, fading, pilling, or too much love!
  • Please ensure shoes/boots are clean and ready for their next adventure!
  • Neatly lay items flat in the container
  • Tag with size must be visible (not cut out)
