Senior Project:
My partner and I connected with Bay State Textiles,
to bring NINE textile recycle bins to our home town.
Every 1 ton of textiles recycled the town receives $100.
The bins were set up in May 2013, so far we have made $8,307 in July 2015.

The establishment of the bins helps the reduce our waste, by reusing and recycling it. The need for new textile materials is decreased when the recycled and shredded textiles are reused. 520 million pounds of textiles are sent to an incinerator or landfill in Massachusetts each year. Yet 95 percent of textiles can be recycled or reused.
