Textile Recycling Bin

Donations
MEMO

To: Residents of The Braender Condominium
From: Bianca Taveras, Account Executive
Date: March 1, 2019
Re: Textile Recycling Bin
Dear Residents:
We are pleased to inform you that The Braender Condominium has enrolled with Department of Sanitation’s free textile recycling program, called “E- Fashion” which is administered in partnership with Housing Works.
The large bin is located in the basement. To access it, pass through the door opposite the elevator (to the right of the laundry room) and the bin is located on the right.

Accepted items include:

• Clothing - women, men & children’s clothing

• Shoes & boots, purses, gloves, scarves, hats & belts

• Towels, curtains, bedding & linens

• Clean rags and torn clothing

Tear-off tax deduction receipts are available on the bin, and in the BuildingLink Library.   Accompanying this memo is the “E-fashion” flyer from the Dept. of Sanitation/Housing Works.

We hope you’ll find this a useful convenience, with a worthwhile cause.
Thank you.

RE-FA: RE-FASHIONYC BROCHURE 2015.11

What is re-fashioNYC?
re-fashioNYC is a free and convenient clothing donation and recycling service available to apartment, office, and commercial buildings.
The service is provided by the NYC Department of Sanitation and Housing Works.
In contrast to for-profit used clothing companies that supply similar collection bins, re-fashioNYC is 100% nonprofit and charitable.

Why Join?
Help New Yorkers. All proceeds from donations support the charitable mission of Housing Works to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS.
Get tax deductions. Tax receipts for up to $250 are available directly on the bin.
Keep valuable materials from going to landfills. Every year NYC residents throw away approximately 200,000 tons of clothing, towels, blankets, curtains, shoes, handbags, belts, and other textiles and apparel. That’s nearly the weight of 900 Statues of Liberty!

How It Works
We will visit your building to discuss how many donation bins you want, what sizes are best, and where they should be placed.
The re-fashioNYC donation bin is offered in two sizes:
Small (2’ deep x 4’ wide x 6’ high) Large (3.5’ deep x 4’ wide x 6’ high)
When the bin is full, simply let us know by calling or emailing us. We will pick up the donations within five business days.

How to Enroll
To receive a re-fashioNYC bin in your apartment, office, or commercial building, complete an online inquiry form at nyc.gov/refashion.

What Happens to Donations?
Some donations are sold in Housing Works thrift shops throughout NYC, including the Buy-the-Bag store in Brooklyn.
Some items are donated to Haiti or sent to other nonprofit thrift shops.
The rest are sold to a textile merchant for recycling or exported to overseas markets.

No donations are sent to landfills!

"We will not let any new yorker go hungry. Literally. We will not let any new yorker go hungry. we have been planning, since the beginning of this crisis, to address the hunger problem," De Blasio said.

The mayor also delivered a positive update on the coronavirus pandemic, saying the city's ventilator supply will now last through this week.
