New curbside collection program for clothing, textile & small household items

The Town of Walpole and Big Brothers Big Sisters Foundation and CMRK have created a new partnership to allow residents to easily donate their clothing, textile and small household items. CMRK has been collecting these items across Massachusetts for over 35 years. The average person gets rid of 85 pounds of clothing a year. 95% of that clothing is able to be reused or recycled. Our new diversion program allows us to give clothing a second life in an easy and convenient way. Big Brothers Big Sisters Foundation will pick up bagged clothing and textiles but also will accept boxed small household items such as pots, pans, small decor and more. As full list of acceptable items can be found on the Big Brother Big Sisters Foundation website (https://www.bbbsfoundation.org/).

The Town is excited to help Walpole residents renew, reuse and divert their clothing and textiles. Donating clothing, textiles and small household items benefits the environment, reduces solid waste tonnage and helps clean out your closets. We look forward to building a socially conscious and environmentally responsible partnership for years to come. When you donate, you are helping our town and children across the state. You can schedule your free home pickup by visiting online https://www.bbbsfoundation.org/

BBBS will be in Walpole for their first collection on August 10th.
