Out of 12.7 million tons of textiles such as clothing, footwear, sheets and pillowcases that were generated in 2009, only 1.9 million tons of textiles were saved. We All need to do our part to try to keep this number down. Donating your clothes to good causes is the answer!
The following is information from the EPA regarding textile recycling.
That means we still have over 85% that is not recovered! Clothes for Charity is working with non profit organizations and the public to help get this number down.
We are always looking for new programs to help people redistribute their used textiles. If you have any suggestions for new collection methods we would love to here from you. Use the contact us form.
