Dear Carol,

There are two ways to find out what communities have tried textile market/collection drives: from the recyclers or from the textile recycling assn. This is still very rare in American communities, although I have anecdotal evidence that textile recycling now takes place as much as household hazardous waste is collected (about 2x per year per community).

Try:

AAA Recycling Sale, New Bedford, MA 508-999-9331
Advance, Chelmsford, MA 508-250-4800
Beacon Wiper, Chelsea, MA 617-884-5304
Berger Co, Pawtucket, RI 401-723-7240
Ecosmith Recyclers, Bedford, NH 603-647-1088
