Get rid of worn clothing with the help of Helpsy

Last week, Greenwich announced a textile recycling partnership between the Greenwich Recycling Advisory Board (GRAB) and Helpsy. The program allows residents to have textiles picked up at home or dropped off at collection bins. The schedule is here.

Textile waste is the fastest-growing type of trash in the country, taking up nearly 5% of all landfill space. Americans throw 85% of their clothes in the trash, and in Connecticut, textiles make up about 5.7% of the waste stream.
