Textile Event
2017-11-18 08:00 - 15:00 | Riley Plaza, Salem, MA, 01970, United States
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.

“Bag It” Movie at Cinema Salem
2017-09-24 10:00 - 11:30 | CinemaSalem, Museum Place Mall, Salem, MA, 01970, United States
Join us for a FREE screening of the award-winning documentary, “BAG IT.”
www.bagitmovie.com
“Americans use 60,000 plastic bags every five minutes, disposable bags that they throw away without much thought. But where is ‘away?’ Where do the bags and other plastics end up, and at what cost to the environment, marine life and human health?
“Bag It follows ‘everyman’ Jeb Berrier as he navigates our plastic world. Jeb is not a radical environmentalist, but an average American who decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics. Jeb’s journey in this documentary film starts with simple questions: Are plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from? What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? What he learns quickly grows far beyond plastic bags.”
