Recycle your clothing and textiles

Broken zippers? Missing buttons? Stained? As long as it’s dry and not moldy, we want it.

Did you know that about six percent of solid waste is textiles? At our recycling events, we take everything, including pants, coats, hats, and suits. We have a full list of what we'll take below.

Please keep in mind:

We will not take carpets, rugs, oil rags, mattresses, or wet or mildewed items.
