Will County Hosts One-Day Textile Collection Event: Shoes, Clothes, Bedding & More Accepted

JOLIET — Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and the Will County Resource Recovery and Energy Division have announced a special, one-day fall Textiles Collection Event for shoes, clothes, and other textiles from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, October 24 at the County Office Building in Joliet (302 N. Chicago St.).

“As our weeklong spring Textiles Collection Event is one of our most popular events of the year, we thought it was important to offer a special opportunity for residents in the fall,” said County Executive Bertino-Tarrant. “As you’re unpacking your Fall and Winter clothing and blankets, this is a wonderful opportunity to responsibly recycle unwanted items.”

A truck will be on-site in the County Office Building parking lot to collect items. Accepted items include clothing, coats, shoes, hats, drapes, table linens, beddings, and fabrics of any kind. Items with mold, mud or other dirt will not be accepted. Clean items will be reused by a local non-profit and those that are in poor condition will be recycled into insulation, factory rags, and more.
