    ok seriously how do you "shred" clothing and then make it usable?? Really?? fabric is a woven material, once you shred it, it is done...no recycling there!

    As for the rest of the stuff they take, read the words...they are just going to either RE-sell it, or donate it to other charities...YOU can do that without going to them! I don't see much in the way of actual recycling going on there, just some re-purposing! Meaning the sell it to get cash and toss the rest! There have many places like that started and send out of town on a rail here! They really are nothing more than scam artists. REAL recycling places have to pass a truck load of EPA, and city/state regs to get certified as a recycling processing center. AND since nobody is buying up old cardboard, plastic, etc to re-use it, most recycling centers are also closing down! It is not that your town does not want to recycle, it is that CHINA does not want to buy the old stuff to make new stuff to send back over here! Fuel prices changed that!
