TEXTILE BIN
Did you know that there are textile donation bins behind Collicot? These bins are the perfect place to put any stained or torn clothes, towels, STUFFED ANIMALS, and other items that you have been looking to get rid of, but can't donate. Items in the bin are reused if in good condition and items in poor condition are shredded and then recycled to make new textiles. Collicot receives money from Bay State Textiles monthly based on the weight of the donations in the bins. It's a great way to clean out your closets and help Collicot at the same time!
NEW BOX TOPS PROGRAM!
No more clipping! Simply scan your receipt! So easy! See details below.
