About the Textile Recycling Pickup Program
The City offers free clothing and other textiles/household goods recycling pickups. There are also two drop off locations at City Hall and the DPW yard. Your items will either be sorted for reuse (if in good condition) or recycled (if not usable). Do not place these items in your blue recycling bin.
