Textile Recycling

Did you know you have lots of options to recycle your clothing, bags, towels and more rather than the garbage or some garbage bag on the curb that no one really wants to dig through? FYI, 5.7% of our waste stream is textiles and New Yorkers throw away close to 200,000 pounds of textiles every year. Yikes.
