Curbside Clothing Pickup Continues In Pawtucket

PAWTUCKET - The city will continue its collaboration with Curbside Textile Recycling to collect residents’ unwanted clothing and shoes on recycling days.

Curbside Textile Recycling collects gently used clothing, and two cents for every pound of clothing sold by the company goes to support local non-profits, Mayor Donald Grebien said in a news release. The company has supported the Pawtucket Soup Kitchen, Books are Wings, and the Blackstone Valley Community Action Program.

“We are trying to ensure that residents have the opportunity to recycle their gently used items and reduce what goes into landfills,” said Grebien. “This opportunity allows for residents to recycle clothing without ever leaving home.”

Curbside Textile Recycling takes reusable clothing, belts, purses and shoes. Residents can use any bag for the first pickup and place it outside by 7 a.m. on their recycling day. Pickup will be between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on the neighborhood's recycling day.

When a bag is collected, the company will leave one of their own for the next pickup. If residents have more items, they can use any type of bag and put it out with the provided bag. Bags are also available at the Pawtucket Public Works Department at 250 Armistice Blvd.
