Over 4,500-plus pounds of textiles recycled at Moody Bible School Move Out event

USAgain’s Green Your Move Out fundraising program proved recycling on college campuses is a win-win for reducing waste and helping students take home a lighter load. Moody Bible School collected a total of 4,563 pounds of unwanted clothes and shoes this spring through USAgain’s bins conveniently placed around campus.

“The fact that torn garments, etc., can be included and formulated into useful items is a big plus,” said Oakley Smith from Moody Bible School. “The positive influence on the environment was something we were generally aware of, but seeing the specific numbers was quite astounding.”

Moody Bible School students can pat themselves on the back for helping to avoid textile wastes large enough to stuff a garbage truck.
