Textile Recycling Drop-off
Textile Recycling Drop-off
95% of unwanted textiles can be reused or recycled. Baystate Textiles accepts "the good, the bad and the ugly" as long as they're clean and dry. Whether you are cleaning out your closets, redecorating and updating draperies, linens, etc. or it is time to get rid of the childhood stuffed animals, keep them out of the waste stream and support your local community!
You can drop off in the white bin by the parking lot at each of our schools. Baystate Textiles pays our schools $100/ton of material collected!
