Curbside collection of unwanted clothing resumes on Monday, June 8 for residents of Farmington, Farmington Hills, Milford, Milford Township, Novi, South Lyon, Southfield, Walled Lake, and Wixom. The curbside collection program provided by Simple Recycling halted operation in April due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Simple Recycling offers an easy and convenient pick up program that occurs on the same day as residential curbside recycling service. Collection bags are provided by Simple Recycling, and replacement bags are left each time full bags are set out for curbside pickup. Call Simple Recycling for bags and more information, 866-835-5068.
While the focus is on recycling clothing, Simple Recycling will also accept shoes, accessories, toys, books, and small home goods in working condition such as kitchenware and tools.
Why a curbside clothing recycling program? “The goal is to make it easy for residents to recycle as many items as they can. The Simple Recycling program is an opportunity to keep a highly recyclable material out of the landfill. It’s a free, simple, and convenient way to reduce waste and recycle more,” stated Michael Csapo, RRRASOC General Manager.
We encourage everyone not serviced by the Simple Recycling program to donate to their favorite charity or thrift shop. It is recommended residents contact them prior to donating to find out if they have resumed operation.
