Recycling clothing and textiles
You can recycle clothing and textiles at our hazardous waste dropoff events. We hold four drop-off events each year.
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.
