Information About:
Clothing - Donation
See locations for this item (below)
Donating used clothing helps others in need and is an effective way to reduce the volume of textiles in the waste stream. Textiles represent over 2 percent of the waste stream. When clothing is donated, generally the best material is pulled out, and sold or given away. The remaining clothing is baled and sold to a broker who sorts it into 4 groups: 1) warm-weather clothing and shoes for underdeveloped countries; 2) cotton materials which are recycled into rags; 3) textiles ground into padding; and 4) wool and silk for sale to textile manufacturers. The result is that 100 percent of the textiles donated are reused.
All donated items must be clean.
Separate “rags” from useable clothing and household goods.
Mark any bags or boxes with the word "RAGS".
Reuse
Give or get usable items on the web based listing services under the Reuse Section on the Links page.
