Announcing our 9th annual APS textile recycling competition! 
 
Please support our district sustainability initiatives and reduce waste by bringing your old, worn, torn textiles (clothing, shoes, towels, bedding, stuffed animals) to your school's collection bin from April 30th-May 30th. All donations must be bagged and go into the textile recycling bins located outside your school. 
 
The volume of donated textiles at each school will be tracked by Bay State Textiles to determine the 1st and 2nd place winning schools.
