Textiles are accepted at the greenmarket on Sundays. From GrowNYC:

Bring all of your unwanted, gently used clothing to be collected by our partners at @‌wearablecollections. We accept all used, freshly laundered clothing as well as shoes, sneakers, accessories, hats, belts and handbags. We also accept household linens such as sheets, curtains and towels.

 

We do not accept carpeting, rugs, bath mats, comforters, pillows, large luggage, fabric or scraps of any kind, including pre-recycled insulation materials.

 

What happens to materials donated?

Clothing & Textiles are accepted by Wearable Collections staff and taken to a facility where they are sorted into different grades, with an effort to recover as much usable clothing as possible for distribution to second-hand markets. Material that is not suitable for reuse will go to recycling markets to be used as wiping rags or shredded for low grade fiber products such as insulation.

 

What Wearable Collections Accepts:

Accepted: Clean and dry clothing, paired shoes, linens, handbags, belts, and other reusable textiles.
Not accepted: fabric rolls or scraps of any size, rugs, carpeting, pillows, comforters, or luggage.

Why can’t I recycle scraps?

Due to a shift in market conditions, Wearable Collections is unable to accept large volumes of scraps for processing. Your quality donations ensure the sustainability of the textile recycling program, which recovers the portion of non-reusable material for secondary uses.
