Did you know there are clothing/textile recycling bins at all 3 schools in EB?
Did you also know that recycling clothes and textiles generate money for the PTO? The PTO uses the money collected to fund events/programs at the schools that benefit all the kids. Baystate textiles has partnered with the school department to provide the bins, empty them and pay for what they collect.
Please consider dropping off you used clothing in one of these bins.
