Clean out your closet and donate textiles instead of putting them in the landfill. Items will be recycled and/or repurposed. Everytime the bin is full, USAgain will plant a tree and the Center gets a small donation per pound of textiles! The donation bin is located in our parking lot at 1 American Way. Thank you!
