Did you know that the average US citizen discards 70 pounds of textiles per year? In effort to reduce textiles in our waste stream, the Village of Scarsdale has established a textile recycling program at the Village Recycling Center,110 Secor Road. Residents are able to deposit their textiles Monday through Saturday, 8AM to 3PM, in the bin provided, as pictured below.
Acceptable textiles include: all clothing, shoes, blankets, towels, bed sheets, hats, gloves, scarves etc. Please place all acceptable items in tied bags before placing them in the bin. This will help insure the clothing stays clean and can be properly recycled and reused.
Unacceptable items include: non-textiles, wet/oil soaked textiles, rugs and carpeting, pillows, mattresses, and furniture. For a list of where to donate such items, please click here; and go to "Donate Reusable Items to Local Charities."
If something is donated by accident, please contact County Recycling, LLC at 1-800-261-7099.
Further questions regarding the textile recycling bin should be directed to Scarsdale Village Hall at (914)-722-1110.
