Tons Of Textiles Recycling Event [BOTH STORE LOCATIONS]
April 18, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Join us for another massive textiles collection event! We’re aiming to collect *ten tons* of textiles — that’s more than the weight of an elephant! Help Frederick County reach this goal by donating your unwanted textiles, including clothing, shoes, linens, and more! Your contributions will be diverted from landfills and given a second life through recycling and reuse.
Once collected our contracted partner Helpsy will collect the items and sort them. Some items are then sold for resale or donation organizations. Other non usable items are sorted further, non usable items can be remade into new clothes, blown insulation and other similar products. Helpsy works to find buyers both domestic and international. To find out more check out their website: https://www.helpsy.com/
The goal of this event is to keep worn textiles out of the landfill and support more mindful reuse. If you have clothing in good, wearable condition and would like it to go directly into the hands of someone in need, please consider donating to the Frederick Rescue Mission. A convenient drop-off bin is located behind Starbucks in the 7th Street parking lot.
Drop off your textiles at either Common Market Co-op location and help us make an impact in our community.
