Have you noticed the USAgain boxes at the Rye Rec?
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
Many of us are looking for a place to bring our children's out-grown clothes or our own unwanted items. The latest addition to the Rye Recreation parking lot are two USAgain recycle boxes..
Here is the mission, at USAgain, to provide consumers with a convenient and eco-friendly option to rid themselves of excess clothing, which we divert from wasting in landfills for resale here in the US and abroad.
USAgain redistributes the discarded clothes they collect to places where there is a great need for these items, supporting the local and global economy in the process. By exporting textiles to struggling countries we generate revenue, create green jobs here in the US and abroad, and help to improve the well-being of people in America and around the world.
We're leading the charge to encourage the re-wear, re-use and recycling of clothes and other textiles. Extending the life of clothes and shoes reduces environmental degradation from the manufacturing of new clothing and makes for a healthier planet. Through our work, we hope to encourage people to consider sensible use of our planet's land and resources.
Together, we can work to give clothes a second life and make the world a better and cleaner place for people to live.
