Find out how your city's
textile waste stacks up:
Here's a
list of populations.
YOUR CITY ALONE GENERATES
Thousands of
tons of textile
waste annually!
BASED ON 45 LBS PER PERSON PER YEAR.
Textile waste makes up only 6% of a typical landfill. But, for a city
of only 10,000 people, that's 230 tons of waste every year!
Whether it's shipped overseas to clothe the poor in
developing countries, or processed in the U. S. for
rags, more than 95% of this waste is recyclable.
If we meet our goal to add textile recycling
just in California's 25 largest cities, we'll keep
275,000 tons of textile waste from reaching the
landfill every year. Visit our
petition to learn more.
Reduce your city's waste
while you help others.
