SalemRecycles, City of Salem and Recycle That will join forces to provide an easy way to recycle your used clothing and household textiles in one convenient location. Recycle That will have a manned truck onsite at Riley Plaza in downtown Salem on the Saturday before Thanksgiving from 8:00-3:00 to collect any and all textiles you would like to donate. Items are accepted in any condition (stained, ripped or missing buttons) but must be CLEAN and DRY.
Fibers have a longer shelf life than we might imagine. What may start as a T-shirt might later end up as a cloth we use to clean our car. The household drapes we replace to update our decor can help to make a new car mat. There are endless ways textiles can be given new life.
Recycling textiles rather than trashing them simply makes sense.
REUSABLE BAG COLLECTION: Bring your excess new or gently used Reusable Bags to this event. SalemRecycles will collect and wash them for re-distribution over the coming months.. We are excited to help residents prepare to go plastic bag free come January 1st.
