MASSACHUSETTS WASTE BAN NOW INCLUDES TEXTILES!
Effective November 1, 2022, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has added TEXTILES to the list of WASTE BANS. Community use of the textile recycling bins at each of the Weymouth Public Schools and the Textile Recycling Corporate Citizen Bins is encouraged!
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION WELCOME!
Massachusetts has added textiles to the waste bans, which means new state rules require textiles be kept out of the trash so they can be recycled or donated for use. Textiles should not be placed in your curbside recycling cart as they damage the sorting equipment at the recycling centers.
So you might ask, " if we don’t put textiles in the trash or our recycle bins, what are we supposed to do?"
ITEMS MUST BE BAGGED AND TIED
- Thank you for bagging and tying your textile contributions in a plastic bag to keep the items clean and dry.
- Please do not leave items outside of the bins.
HOW ARE MY CONTRIBUTIONS USED?
- Items are used for their intended purpose if quality allows
- Items are accepted in all levels of quality, including single shoes/socks, ripped items, etc. (Non-acceptable items include items stained with hazardous materials such as gas or oil, full size room carpets, any kind of foam, and mattresses)
- Damaged items become raw materials for new products (ie: sneakers become asphalt, jeans become insulation, stuffed animals become car seat stuffing, etc.)
