A new partnership between KVCOG, a Fairfield-based nonprofit, and Apparel Impact, of Manchester, NH, means area residents can can now take their textile items to designated drop-off boxes in Athens, Chelsea, Fayette, Hartland, Madison, Pittsfield, Skowhegan, Wayne and Winslow. Acceptable items include clothing, bedding, towels, bags, purses, shoes and hats. The items will then be collected on a biweekly basis by employees of Apparel Impact and properly recycled or donated, effectively removing them from the solid waste stream.
