A BAG WITH SOMEWHERE TO GO.

Through our partnership with Des Moines Public Schools, gently used backpacks collected through the Tilted Compass Trade-In Program are given a second life in our local community. Your old backpack can become something a student can use every day—while keeping perfectly good gear out of the landfill.

Trade yours in. Upgrade your carry. Help us pass the old one forward.
