Saturday Recycling Tip For Those Going to the Dump (and Even for Those Who Aren’t)
|
When the USAgain bins near the Swap Shop and transfer station building fill up, the contents are removed to a truck like this one. Usable or unusable clothing, shoes, linens & accessories (backpacks, purses, hats, gloves, belts, etc.) can be recycled in these bins. Recycling textiles provides two benefits to the town:
1) a reduction in the amount (and cost) of solid waste hauled way;
2) payment of $200/ton for textiles collected. Recycling textiles also saves natural resources and is a source of affordable clothing for people world-wide. _______________
