Recycle Unwanted Textiles and Help Your Community

Start your Spring cleaning early and clean out those closets!

By Laurie Corbett, Co-Publisher, Macaroni Kid Weymouth February 17, 2020

Bay State Textiles offers a solution to the problem of unwanted textiles while keeping the revenue generated in the partnered community.  Stained t-shirts find a second life as a wiping rag, lone socks find a second life as pillow stuffing, old denim finds a second life as home insulation, stuffed animals find a second life as car seat stuff and more. Plus, items in good condition aren't shredded but reused. Items must be bagged and the tied bags when making a donation.

Here's our chance to help be a part of the solution to the unwanted textiles problem while helping to generate revenue for our communities and schools. Wondering where to find a box near you? Here's the list for the towns that Macaroni Kid Weymouth covers. Find a full list of all of Bay State Textiles donation spots on their website here - https://www.baystatetextiles.com/locations/
