Staten Island Clothing & Textile Recycling Day

Staten Island Clothing & Textile Recycling Day

CELEBRATE AMERICA RECYCLES DAY

In celebration of the opening of CENYC’s 50th Greenmarket farmers market at the Staten Island Mall, come down and drop your unwanted clothing and textiles while you check out the Greenmarket.

Unwanted textiles represent almost 6% of the city’s residential waste stream. You can do your part to help prevent textiles from winding up in the landfill by dropping them off for reuse or recycling. Once collected, the textiles are transported to a sorting facility where everything gets categorized based on reusability and type of fabric, then sent to different markets where there is a demand for that type of material.

America Recycles Day (November 15) provides an opportunity for millions of people to become better informed about the importance of daily recycling and buying recycled products. America Recycles Day promotes the social, environmental and economic benefits of recycling and encourages more people to join the movement toward creating a better natural environment. www.americarecyclesday.org
