THE PROBLEM. According to a recent study, 386 million pounds of textiles enter the NYC waste stream annually, representing close to 6% of total waste.
THE SOLUTION. Wearable Collections provides a no cost, turn-key solution to recycling clothing within residential buildings in NYC. We handle all the logistics from placement of bins and promotion within the buildings to scheduling weekly pick-ups.
THE BENEFIT. Through our established network we distribute your discarded clothing around the world to people who need it, enabling us to raise money for charitable organizations.
A little info can go a long way.
Get Recession Ready
It is everywhere in the news these days- recession is in the air. George Monbiot wrote in The Guardian earlier this year that a recession might not be a bad thing; It is true that in times of economic contraction there is less fuel burned and less pollution created, as industries make less stuff and there are fewer trucks carrying it. Russia's air got dramatically cleaner after the fall of Communism and all the old factories closed.
It is also true that almost all of the things that we preach as being good for the planet are good for getting recession ready; use less stuff, lower your heating bills, reduce your use of electricity, make your own dinner, all these things that make less carbon dioxide also save us money
