Designing and Constructing Ideas that are “Grounds for Success” Landscaping curbside collection and recycling of unwanted textiles and housewares to nearly two million households across eight states. In the weeks before the Malden program’s August 19 launch date, Simple Recycling will send informational mailers to homes that receive recycling collection in Malden. The mailers will contain free Simple Recycling bags which will be used for your first collection. After a bag is collected, Simple Recycling will leave an empty bag for you to use for your next collection. When cleaning out closets or disposing of unwanted items, residents may place them in the bags. If a resident doesn’t have enough bags, it is permissible to use regular trash bags that are clearly marked for Simple Recycling. Residents may then place the bags curbside on their normal trash/recycling collection day. Simple Recycling’s trucks will pick them up, free of charge, and leave a replacement bag for the next collection. The company will accept a wide range of used textiles and small household items. The list of accepted items includes all types of used or new clothing, boots and shoes, belts and ties, handbags, hats and gloves, toys, towels, sheets and blankets, small kitchen appliances, and more. The Simple Recycling service is not meant to compete with local charities. Its purpose is to provide a convenient curbside collection option for residents who want it. Ultimately, it’s about keeping those items out of the trash. For more information about the program, visit www.cityofmalden.org/ textiles.
