Every year, North Americans throw away tonnes of clothing and textiles, clogging landfills with reusable goods. In fact, clothing and textiles represents one of the most common material found in the Peel Region waste system.
To make it easier to reuse or recycle unwanted clothing, Peel Region is partnering with Kidney Clothes to pilot curb side pickup at selected homes. Homeowners in the selected pilot area will receive two clear bags in advance of the pick-up date to make donations a breeze.
The average North American throws away 81lbs. of clothing annually, ninety-fiver percent of which can be reused or recycled. Recycling this clothing and other textiles will help the Region reach its goal of diverting waste to landfills. Ninety-five percent of clothing thrown away can be reused or recycled, making a significant impact on the environment.
Since 2012, Kidney Clothes has been diverting textiles and repurposing them into funds to support people in the region and across Canada living with kidney disease. Last year, over 12 million pounds of clothing and household goods were repurposed to provide hope and support for the 1 in 10 Canadians who live with kidney disease.
Stay tuned for information on pickup dates and locations.
