LEARN ABOUT RECYCLING IN AUBURN

NEW: RECYCLE YOUR TEXTILES, AUBURN!

Nearly 10% of all household waste is TEXTILES and each day, more than 1,000 pounds of clothing, shoes, and accessories end up in landfills/waste-to-energy facilities in EVERY town & city in America. That's MILLIONS of tons of clothing waste each year!
 
The City of Auburn is proud to announce that we have partnered with Veteran-owned, New Hampshire based Apparel Impact to install a free drop-off bin next to our existing recycling bins near Auburn Public Works on Gracelawn Road. Starting today, you can drop off clothing, outerwear, footwear, linens, purses/bags, and accessories. These items don't need to be in "wearable" condition (but they must be dry with no odor and no mold).
 
Apparel Impact will take care of the rest! They will reuse/repurpose the items that still have some life in them; "upcycle" some items into new clothing, shoes, bags, etc.; and "downcycle" extremely damaged items into rags, insulation, carpet, and more. AI also has an incredible community outreach component, providing clothing, shoes, etc. to thousands of people in need, including kids, Veterans, and our most vulnerable community members.
 
TONS of clothing, shoes, linens and accessories were diverted from landfills throughout the northeast by Apparel Impact in 2023 - 1,878 tons in Maine alone (6.9 tons in Auburn)!
