Ellington DPW Accepting Clothing Donations For Charity

ELLINGTON, CT — Folks living in Ellington have a new, clean way to dispose of their unwanted clothing and textile products ... and they can help out a good cause as well.

Ellington officials have recently partnered with the Hearthsprings Foundation out of Sprinfield, Mass., to set up collection bins at the Town of Ellington's Department of Public Works site at 21 Main St., Ellington.

There, people can donate unwanted clothing, linens, shoes, hats, sporting goods, housewares and more.

Those donations will eventually be sold at Savers stores, according to Heartsprings, and the proceeds all benefit the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization.

Large purple bins are visible with Heartsprings labeling at the DPW site.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters is a national organization dedicated to matching young clients with adult mentors to help guide them as they grow up.
