During the Sept. 8 committee session, after Tasha Sherman addressed her concerns regarding misinformation given by the city about the Simple Recycling program, she was asked if she would submit a paragraph to be included in the city newsletter or recycling flyer that all residents would receive. She did. It never appeared, but, I have it here:
"Your textiles & shoes of all quality & condition are very valuable to the legitimate organizations that solicit these items to be donated via Donation Centers, Clothing Donation Bins, Missions, Churches, and Manned Donation Trailers, just to name a few. These organizations rely, in part, on the revenue generated from the sale of these recyclable materials to fund their cause, program or mission, locally or nationwide. Worn, torn, tattered & frayed - all of your textiles can be donated to your favorite organization collecting these items, in effect to be eventually recycled. If you have no preference or inclination of where to take your donations or discards, please help us keep these items out of our landfill and place them properly bagged on your curb on the designated waste removal day.
Tasha is a professional with years of experience in the textile recycling industry.
