A new clothing collection container is now located at the City of Spokane’s Waste to Energy recycling drop off area. Provided by Global Neighborhood Thrift as part of a pilot program, the yellow drop box gives residents another option to reduce, reuse and recycle. Textiles like clothing, bedding, and towels can be dropped off at the same time you drop off cardboard and plastic bottles. And, it doesn’t matter what condition the items are in as long as they are clean. What can’t be sold in Global Neighborhood’s thrift store is sent off to be repurposed into other things.
