You can now recycle clothes at the Used Clothing Drop-Off Shed at the Swarthmore Recycling Center at 121 Dartmouth Avenue. The shed is serviced by Turnkey Enterprises, LLC, which pays the Borough for items collected. They accept used clothing, shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, blankets, linens and stuffed toys. The clothing collected is intended for continued use as clothes, so please do not deposit cut cloth or rags. They also do not accept pillows, fabric scraps, toys, or household goods.
Another change at the Swarthmore Recycling Center is that they no longer accept glass, plastic, or steel cans; those bins have been removed from the site. However, these items can still be recycled in the curbside pickup. According to the Borough web site, residents are still encouraged to take cardboard, newspaper, office paper, and aluminum to the Recycling Center instead of including it in their curbside collection bins. The Borough sells these valuable source-separated products on the local recycling market. Also note that shredded paper is accepted at the recycling center but not curbside.
As a reminder, hours of operation of the Borough Recycling Center are:
7:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Weekdays
9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Weekends
Please be considerate of nearby neighbors and observe the posted hours.
