Denim Drive At Edison's Menlo Park Mall To Support Sustainability

Every piece of donated denim will be recycled and used in a sustainable way elsewhere.

EDISON, NJ — In a bid to prevent denim from reaching local landfills, Menlo Park Mall is organizing a denim drive on Aug. 20.

The “Do Good With Denim” initiative will be held just ahead of the back-to-school season.

Customers can drop off any denim apparel they want to dispose of – jeans, shirts, skirts, jackets and more, while visiting the mall on Aug. 20.
