Clothing and Textile Recycling Drive–Saturday November 22, 2014!



On Saturday, November 22nd, SalemRecycles will host  the fourth annual textile recycling drive at Riley Plaza  parking lot from 8 am - 3 pm.  The parking lot is directly across from the Salem Post Office at 2 Margin Street.  Just look for a big Goodwill truck.  So just drive in and drop off your textiles.  You will be helped by a group of enthusiastic SalemRecycles volunteers.

What can you recycle?  Clothing, sneakers, shoes, boots, slippers, belts, ties, purses, pillows, bedding (comforters, sheets, blankets), table linens, stuffed animals and draperies/curtains. Items can be in almost any condition.  Moth-eaten, torn, and stained fabrics are reusable. However, they must be clean and dry to be accepted.

What is not allowed?  NO carpets, NO rugs, NO bric-a-brac, NO oil rags, and absolutely NO wet or mildewed items.

24 Norman Street residents take note that this event may affect parking access to some parts of Riley Plaza.

Questions?  Please call - 978-619-5679 or go to: www.salem.com/recycling or greensalem.com/events.
