People Recycling for People
This program is designed specifically for K-5. Instead of holding a school clothing drive, Community Recycling has developed a fully integrated curriculum to support REUSE, engage, teach and entertain, allowing kids to learn about diverse cultures around the globe where their clothes will go. This environmental service project promotes sustainability, geography, social studies, language, art and includes a global mapping project that adds depth to the act of collection for reuse. The more clothes, bags, belts and shoes collected, the more funds and rewards schools can earn. Classrooms here in the US can connect with classrooms around the globe, rethinking ‘local’ by literally bringing communities closer via Community Recycling’s collaboration with Skype In the Classroom.
CR CAMPUS
People Recycling for People
Like most communities, textile waste is a huge burden on campuses, especially on clean out/move out days. Community Recycling now offers customizable solutions for every type of campus situation, making clothing recycling convenient and easy for students, faculty, and surrounding neighborhoods. CR Campus allows us to make sure that all clothes, linens, shoes, bags, belts, bikes, electronics, and more, that didn’t make it home via trains, planes or automobiles, finds a future. This saves the campus in disposal fees, helps the environment and helps the over 70% of the global population that depends on affordable options. Through reuse, CR Campus brings convenient recycling right to the residence halls.
CR HOME
People Recycling for People
What if you can pack up your box of clothes, shoes, bags, belts, and linens; seal it up, add a free shipping label and simply hand it to your postal worker? We are making clothing recycling as easy as mailing a letter, and as meaningful as changing the world! We’ve simply transformed what ‘local’ means and included your community, any community, with our community. Our free shipping label allows you to think differently about how you ‘share forward’ your gently used things. The convenience of CR Home allows you to de-clutter and clean out whenever you need. The accessibility of your postal worker means you never have to leave the house. Mother Earth will smile each and every time you participate.
Expect more to come in the near future from these innovate thinkers and doers of green good, and join the reuse movement, or as they like to call it, People Recycling for People.
