Upper West Side Recycling and Wearable Collections will organize your textile drive. They will also provide a portable clothing bin (5 x 4 x 2 1/2) if your building has over 100 apartments; if it has less than 90 apartments they'll give you a rack with large bags. Residents won’t have to haul their clothing and other textiles to a collection site—or worse—dump them in the trash. Wearable Collections accepts clean clothing (wearable or unwearable), shoes, pocketbooks, curtains, sheets, blankets, comforters, and towels. Carpeting is not accepted. By participating you can do some spring or fall cleaning, keep textiles out of our landfills and recycle in an easy, convenient way.

They also recycle textiles in churches, schools, and other organizations. Pickups are in Manhattan, and Wearable Collections will go to the outer boroughs for large quantities.
