Middlesex Community College and its Adult Learning Center (ALC) are partnering with Bay State Textiles in an ongoing Textile Recycling Program to help reduce waste and protect the environment.

Collection boxes have been located in two parking lots on the Bedford campus (in Parking Lots A and M). Clean, dry textile items – including footwear, clothing, accessories, and linens – can be dropped off any time in the collection boxes.

“Adult Learning Center staff believe this initiative is a way to create awareness about textile waste while encouraging the college and other local communities to recycle,” said Kathy Innis, ALC Director. “Almost all used textiles can be recycled – including stuffed animals, drapes, rugs, and socks – anything with a fabric base.” Small profits from the project will help defray the cost of supplies for ALC students, Innis added.
