Cleaning out closets?
In the United States, textile waste - unwanted clothing, shoes, belts, blankets, linens, etc. is one of the fastest growing waste streams.
As we transition our homes - and our closets - for another winter, remember: according to the EPA, the average person throws away 81 pounds of clothing EVERY YEAR - only 15 percent of that is recycled and 85 percent ends up in landfills!
When organizing for a new season, remember these words:
Reuse - Repair - Recycle!
Clothing and textiles can be donated - regardless of condition - as long as they are clean, dry and odorless.
