Do you have old and unwanted clothes, shoes and linens taking up space in your closets and dressers? De-clutter your house and recycle these items properly at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee Community Textile Recycling Day.
Every year, 85% of all discarded clothing and other textiles — over 21 billion lbs. — is sent to U.S. landfills. Better Earth Textile Recycling (BETR) puts discarded textiles back in the use cycle through recycling and re-purposing, and in doing so keeps them out of landfills and helps to conserve the earth’s precious natural resources.
