Recycling Tip for Better Results: Clothing and Textiles

Spring cleaning is almost here, which often means cleaning out your closet and discarding older items of clothing. Additionally, tired textiles you might want to purge include things like towels, bedding, and curtains. There’s no reason these items have to go into the landfill, but they also should not go into the curbside recycling bin. Here in Ann Arbor, there are plenty of options for reuse (thrift stores) and recycling of your old clothing and textiles.
