[All] Recycling Textiles

[Caterina Lindman]

If clothes are brought to the Goodwill (which is at Gate 2 at the Waterloo
Region Landfill on Erb St.), are they either re-used or re-cycled?  That
seems to be the indication from the Region of Waterloo website.  Sabine's
slides seem to imply that Goodwill in London is only interested in clothes
that can be re-used.

Is the purpose of Gren's project to encourage people to drop their clothes
off at Goodwill if they cannot be re-used, and to donate them to Goodwill
or another second-hand shop if they can be re-used?
