Textile Recycling

Clothes

Instead of throwing away unwanted clothes you should donate them at Goodwill! 

Find a nearby Goodwill donation center here: goodwillar.org/store-locations

If your clothes are a little too rough for Goodwill, get creative! 

Check out these resources for upcycling, repurposing, and reusing old clothes or scrap fabric. 

Trashie and Retold Recycling are businesses aimed at improving the circular economy for textiles - they'll recycle clothing and fabrics that may not be fit for re-sale at donation centers. They'll even accept fabric scraps from your sewing projects or costume shop!

Towels 

If you have towels that you no longer want, donate them to the City of Little Rock Animal Village! 

Shoes

Bring your old athletic shoes to the Little Rock Nike store for recycling through their "Reuse-A-Shoe" program. Your shoe will be turned into surface material for running tracks, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Visit the Nike website for shipping information.

Or, donate them at Goodwill.
