The
Textile Recovery campaign combines the public, private and non-profit
organizations’ efforts to motivate New Yorkers to divert their unwanted
textiles from the waste stream through recycling. Eight collectors across New
York State will accept textiles spanning clothing and coats to linens and
towels, as well as footwear, belts, handbags and stuffed animals.
Even though a garment may have a hole, a broken zipper or
a small stain, it can still be recycled. Textiles that are damp or
mildewed or are stained with any kind of solvent are not acceptable.

recycling in general.
