We must confess, we are guilty of throwing out an article of clothing or an old pair of shoes on occasion. Turns out we aren't the only ones. According to a recent study by Wearable Collections, 386 million pounds of textiles enter the NYC waste stream annually, representing close to 6% of total waste.So, next time you go to toss out that old pair of jeans that you feel no one at Salvation Army will want, head to one of the greenmarkets in partnership with CENYC listed below and drop them off instead (they take all used clothing and textiles!). Your donations helps to support CENYC's environmental and greeening programs.
