The Whitneyville and Brundage libraries and the Keefe Community Center will have containers placed after the New Year holiday.
Bay State will pay the town $ 120.00 per ton for all materials collected. “We accept all clothing, footwear, accessories, and linens…”
“Can I recycle my textiles that are ripped and stained?
Yes. Bay State Textiles will accept your textiles in any condition, if they are clean and dry! If it can’t be reused, it gets recycled into wiping rags or broken down into fibers and made into new materials.”
