Haverford Hosting Clothing Collection Event June 14

The township is teaming up with Helpsy, which recycles and reuses 95 percent of the clothing it collects, for the event.

HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP, PA — Haverford Township next month is hosting a clothing collection event that will help keep materials out of the trash.

The township is teaming up with Helpsy for the event.

Helpsy’s mission is to keep clothing out of the trash. Ninety-five percent of what Helpsy collects can be reused or recycled. Clothing is sold primarily for reuse, where higher grades are resold to thrift stores in North America and other secondhand markets around the world. The lower grades can be turned into rags for industrial use or stuffing and insulation.
