A free weekly curbside collection program for clothing and small household items provided by Simple Recycling Inc. will begin in the City of Southfield on February 6th.
Single family households will soon receive postcards and orange bags to introduce the Simple Recycling curbside clothing recycling program. Residents will be able to fill the orange bags with unwanted clothing, textiles and other household items and set them out for collection on the same day as their weekly trash and recycling collection. Simple Recycling Inc. will collect the full orange bags and leave replacement bags behind.
Residents are encouraged to continue donating unwanted clothing to their favorite charity or thrift shop first. The Simple Recycling program then helps to capture the 85% of recyclable textiles still going to landfills.
