Our ECOS (Environmental & Community Organization of Stewards) would like to inform our community that the OL waste and recycling committee has a new option for textile recycling at the Lyme and OL transfer station. Baystate Textiles up-cycles textiles that are no longer usable (i.e. worn out socks) into insulation and other materials. According to Baystate Textiles research, every year the average person disposes of 81 lbs of textiles. Only 15% is being reclaimed or recycled, while the other 85% spends around 40 years decomposing in the landfills. That is 26 billion pounds of textiles releasing harmful CO2 and methane into our atmosphere. Bring your old textiles to your transfer station and look for the white bin labeled Baystate Textiles. For more information, please visit https://www.baystatetextiles.com/. check out the list of items that are accepted:Comments are closed.
