Haverford Township Helpsy Clothing Drive
By: Township Admin
June 14th, 9am-12pm Location : Township Building @ 1014 Darby Rd.
For re-wear, reuse, and recycling, Helpsy accepts clothing, footwear, accessories, linens, luggage, and stuffed animals in any condition so long as they are clean, dry, and odorless. “Helpsy’s mission is to keep clothing out of the trash. 95% of what [Helpsy] collect[s] can be reused or recycled. Clothing is sold primarily for reuse where higher grades are resold to thrift stores in North America and other secondhand markets around the world. The lower grades can be turned into rags for industrial use or stuffing and insulation. Clothing reuse is a big deal and reduces the enormous environmental burden of the fashion industry.”
