The Riverfield Green Team wants you to know about an opportunity to recycle unwanted textiles while fundraising for the PTA!  
 

 

♻️ You helped raise $921.60 for Riverfield PTA for 2025/2026 school year! Thanks to everyone who dropped off clothing, shoes, and linens in our textile recycling bin.

 

 

There is a textile recycling bin located in the Riverfield parking lot (left side) just as you exit.

  
  • Items that are still in good condition will be donated and reused.
  • Items not good enough to donate, may still be dropped in the bin for recycling (think: stained clothes, worn out shoes, ripped linens & towels, even stuffed animals!) 
  • Click here to see the many ways these items are repurposed
  • Please just be sure that all items are bagged securely. 
  • You can see a full list of what is and what is not accepted here

   

Riverfield PTA earns $100 per ton of textiles collected!
