Home Textile Collection

Simple Recycling, a vendor of the City of Framingham, will collect "pre-loved" clothing and shoes. To have items collected from your home:

1. Bag accepted items in clean and recyclable bags or boxes. Effective immediately, pink bags will no longer be provided by Simple Recycling.
2. Schedule textile collection online or by calling (866) 835-5068. Textile collection will no longer occur without advanced scheduling.
3. Leave items at the front door instead of the curb 

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, and backpacks.

For more information, contact Simple Recycling by visiting their website, calling 866-835-5068, or emailing Simple Recycling.

Please be advised: This free collection service provides assistance to the Sanitation Division’s Solid Waste Management Program by diverting materials from the waste stream, meaning less waste tonnage. The City does not pay the vendor to collect these items. The elective service provided was approved under the former Board of Selectmen in the fall of 2017, and the collection began in February 2018.
