APS Annual Textile Recycling Competition April 30 - May 30

Announcing our 9th annual APS textile recycling competition!

Please support your school and help reduce waste by bringing your old, worn, torn textiles (clothing, shoes, towels, bedding, stuffed animals) to your school's collection bin from April 30th-May 30th. All donations must be bagged and go into the textile recycling bins located outside your elementary or middle school.

The volume of donated textiles at each school will be tracked by Bay State Textiles to determine the winning school.

For a list of acceptable donations click here. For questions about the competition or to report bin overflow, please contact Rachel Oliveri, APS Sustainability Project Manager at roliveri@arlington.k12.ma.us.
