Did you know that all these items can be recycled?

At our school, we just received new recycle bins from the Bay State Textile’s
Recycling Rebate Program. The bins can be used to recycle many textiles from stuff animals to duffel bags. Although 95% of used textiles can be recycled, 85%  of it goes to landfills. The average citizen throws away 70 lbs of clothes each year.  For every ton of recycled textiles our school earns $100.
