The
New Brunswick Association for Community Living saying instead of
throwing away your old clothing, you can donate them and recycle all at
the same time.
The
group is looking for cloth donations in support of the Community
Collection Program, which helps people with intellectual disabilities.
Gina
Wilkins assists with communications and is also a donor. She tells Tide
News, "A lot of those items end up in the landfill. This is not only a
great way to make a donation to a very worthy organization, but it's
also a way to recycle," she says.
The program helps people with intellectual disabilities, in areas such as employment, education and independent living.
The organization has trucks that go through communities to pick up donations.
