RECYCLE OLD CLOTHES: Earth Day Textile Drive in Massachusetts

a NEWSFLASH from the Center for Ecological Technology

Don't miss CET's 14th annual Earth Day Textile Drive to collect old clothing and household textiles for reuse and recycling. All types of clothing will be accepted, including sweaters, shirts, skirts, pants, jackets, overcoats and raincoats. Blankets, gloves, socks, paired shoes and winter boots, sheets, towels, and curtains are also acceptable. Clothing must be clean, dry and packed in strong plastic bags, such as garbage or lawn-leaf bags. Rugs, carpeting and pillows will not be accepted. Please do not bring clothes on hangers.

This collection is open to all Berkshire county residents as well as those living in southern Vermont and eastern New York state.

Clothing collected during the drive will be resold when possible or recycled, and donations of these materials provide a way for the community to support CET's environmental programs.
