The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) is providing
new sites and collaborators participating in their clothing and textile
collection program. Residents can find the closest location to drop off and
donate new, gently used or worn items like shirts, pants, jeans, blankets,
comforters, sheets, towels, table linens and more to be reused, repurposed or
recycled/upcycled. Eighty-five percent of these materials usually end up in our
landfills. Find a list of accepted items at swalco.org.
