Recycle Your Clothing! Curbside in Franklin
The sun is shining, the air is fresh, and spring has arrived! Now is the time to complete your spring cleaning! The Town of Franklin Recycling Division continues to offer residential curbside clothing pick-up. The purpose of this program is simple, yet impactful. By working together, we can divert textiles from the incinerator and give new life to previously used items. To participate, simply put your clothing in the designated pink bags. The bags can be obtained at the DPW Administration building and the Beaver Street Recycling Center. Then, place the filled pink bags alongside your curbside recycling bin on your regularly scheduled curbside collection day. After removal, the donated clothing is sorted and graded for quality. Then, the items are offered as second-hand clothing, converted to wiping rags, or recycled into post-consumer fiber products. Let’s do our part to help reduce municipal solid waste tonnage!
