Curbside Clothing Recycling Begins In Milford
You’ll start to see colored bags next to recycling bins in the city soon. Here is how the program works.

Residents can place clothing and shoes into the bags and leave them next to (not inside) the recycling bin on regularly scheduled recycling days.
Simple Recycling picks up the bags and sorts items. High quality items are resold to thrift outlets, mid-grade items go to international markets and unusable items are processed for raw materials. The company also accepted some other house goods.
Clothing left curbside isn’t eligible for tax deductions because Simple Recycling isn’t a non-profit.
