Arlington Public Schools is holding their 9th Annual Textile Recycling Competition on April 30 – May 30, 2025.
Please support our district’s sustainability initiatives and reduce waste by bringing your old, worn, torn textiles (clothing, shoes, towels, bedding, stuffed animals) to Brackett’s textile collection bin from April 30th – May 30th. All donations must be bagged and go into the textile recycling bins located behind Brackett by the staff parking lot (off Fayette Street).
The volume of donated textiles at each school will be tracked by Bay State Textiles to determine the 1st and 2nd place winning schools.
For a list of acceptable donations click here. For questions about the competition or to report bin overflow, please contact Rachel Oliveri, APS Sustainability Project Manager, at roliveri@arlington.k12.ma.us.
