Clothing / Textile Recycling

Newington residents are able to recycle old textiles such as shirts, sweaters, jeans, linens and sneakers instead of throwing them in the trash. Through a partnerships with Baystate Textiles residents have the option to drop these items to be recycled.

Collection boxes are located at the Senior Center at 120 Cedar St. and the Town Transfer Station at 2045 Main St (during regular landfill operating hours).
