Clothing & Household Textiles make up about 5% of waste in landfills - But it can be RECYCLED!
All convenience centers for Accomack and Northampton Counties have a bin on site as well as the Moose Lodge in Belle Haven and Lighthouse Ministries Thrift Stores. Even items unfit for reuse or donation to a thrift store are accepted! For example, a tennis shoe with a hole in it is fine! They are ground up and used in car seats. Ripped and stained clothing is also acceptable as they are shredded and rewoven into rags for industries.
Acceptable Items: Clothes, Towels, Shoes, Belts, Bedding, Curtains, Ties, Stuffed Animals, Pocketbooks!
