CVSan: Textile Collection Week Results

Thank you, Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan) residents, for participating in another Textile Collection Week!

Between October 2nd – 6th, CVSan residents set out bagged textiles curbside for collection by Alameda County Industries (ACI). A grand total of 9,910 pounds of textiles were diverted from the landfill! These textiles were donated to Recycle for Change, an organization that distributes the textiles for reuse and recycling. Great job to the CVSan community for helping to prevent this material from going to the landfill and for participating in the Reuse aspect of the 4Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rot)!

The next Textile Collection Week will take place the week of June 3 - 7, 2024 on your regular collection day. Visit cvsan.org/Textiles for more information. Textiles will also be accepted at CVSan’s Recycles Day event on April 27, 2024. Visit cvsan.org/RecyclesDay closer to the event date for more information.
