Textile Collection
For consumers the most common way of recycling textiles is reuse through reselling or donating to charity (Goodwill Industries, Salvation Army, etc.) However certain communities in the United States have been accepting textiles in curbside pickup since 1990. The textiles must be clean and dry for them to be accepted being recycled.
Some companies, such as Patagonia, an outdoor clothing and gear company, accept their product back for recycling. Textile recycling equipment plays an important part in the textile recycling industry - Standard and high-efficiency textile recycling equipment is quite important for supporting the textile industry. So far,the most popular and widely accepted clothing recycling bin is designed and manufactured by JNZ enterprise, which uses a high safety chute that is easily opened and closed.

“Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
