Textile Recycling

Residents have two options for recycling textiles in through the City: 

1. At the Recycling Drop-off Center located at 255 Mt. Wayte Avenue
2. Curbside collection through Simple Recycling, a vendor of the City.

Curbside Textile Collection 

As of February 2018, "pre-loved" clothing and shoes can be left in the pink bags distributed to your home by Simple Recycling, a vendor of the City of Framingham, and they will be collected on your regular collection day.

1. Fill the pink bags with clothing and shoes.
2. Set the bags out by 7 a.m. on your collection day
3. Their drivers will collect the bags and leave new ones for you to use

Simple Recycling will collect: Men’s/women’s/children’s clothing, coats, jackets, jewelry, shoes, purses, hats, toys, blankets, drapes/curtains, pillows, sleeping bags, tools, silverware, dishes, pots/pans, backpacks

Please place the pink bag next to your recycling cart. For more information, or to request additional bags, contact Simple Recycling by visiting their website, calling 866-835-5068 or emailing Simple Recycling.

Please be advised: This optional curbside collection service provides assistance to the Department’s Solid Waste Management Program by diverting this material from the waste stream. The elective service provided was approved under the former Board of Selectmen in fall of 2017, and the collection began in February 2018.
