Collection bins to recycle clothes will be placed on campus

Collection bins for clothes and shoes will be placed in the recycling station in the south central section of the campus in early March. The receptacles are part of an effort by the organization Planet Aid, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of people in developing countries. Donations are tax-deductible. This effort is in addition to regular clothes drives and other efforts on campus for regional individuals. The organization was founded in 1997 and has more than 11,000 collection bins across the nation. The recycling effort also serves an environmental purpose by easing the strain on landfills.
