Franklin Residents: January Brings a Record Month of Clothing Recycling

January Brings a Record Month of Clothing Recycling

In January 2020 simplerecycling.com picked up 20,437 pounds of clothing for reuse/recycling!

What could be easier than using the pink bags and take it to the curb.

This saves material form ending up in the trash and recycling carts and the residual money ($20/ton) received goes into the curbside solid waste program to reduce fees.

Please spread the word and go to simplerecycling.com for more bags and information.
