MORE ABOUT THE TEXTILE BINS
In last month's TRAC TALK, there was a photo of the white textile bins at the Salisbury/Sharon Transfer Station. Below you will find an attachment with the full list of what is accepted in those bins. Bay State Textiles collects textiles weekly, then cleans, and sorts the donations. About 45% of donations is clothing that can be reused; 30% becomes rags or wiping cloths; and 20% becomes re-purposed textile fibers that can create a new product.

JANE LLOYD CLAMBAKE
On July 25th, at the annual Clambake fundraiser -- full of joyful, grateful, and compassionate people -- the Salisbury/Sharon Transfer Station put together a group of volunteers who collected over 400 pounds of food scraps, diverting that weight from the garbage container. For the third year, the dedicated organizers of the Jane Lloyd Clambake have worked with the Transfer Station to make the the food scraps collection more efficient. If Salisbury and Sharon residents follow that lead for their own events, we could further reduce the solid waste stream.

2026 ANNUAL HOUSATONIC HERITAGE AREA WALKS ANNOUNCED
5 Autumn Weekends of Free, Guided Regional Interpretive Tours
The Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area announces the 24th annual autumn Housatonic Heritage Walks in September. A variety of 68 free, guided interpretive tours will be offered this autumn throughout The Berkshires, MA, and Litchfield County, CT (northwestern CT).
The public is invited to participate in these family-oriented, interpretive walks, offered in partnership with our region’s historic, cultural, and outdoor recreation organizations and the National Park Service.

Historians, naturalists, and environmentalists will lead participants on explorations through historic estate gardens and town districts, behind-the-scenes cultural site tours, nature walks, trail hikes, and tours of many of the industrial-site ruins that were once thriving local industries. There will be Native-American and African American history walks and an African-American history bike tour.
Detailed Heritage Walks brochures are available at libraries, post offices, and newspaper racks in major grocery stores in the region. The Walks schedule is also available at: https://housatonicheritage.org/events/heritage-walks/
