Did you know?

Effective November 1, 2022: Textiles are banned from disposal or transport for disposal in Massachusetts.

Do you have clothing, shoes, or other textiles that you no longer wear or use, but still have plenty of life left in them? Don't throw them away!

Donate them to an organization that will find new owners or uses for these items. Search the MassDEP-supported Beyond the Bin Recycling Directory by type of material and your location. It will display a list of nearby locations where you can drop off unwanted clothing, shoes, and other textiles for donation to organizations that will resell, reuse, recycle, or repurpose them.

For information on textile recycling, including where to recycle visit the State's textile recovery page.
