Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and the Will County Resource Recovery and Energy Division have announced a special, one-day fall textiles collection event for shoes, clothes and other textiles.

The program will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at the Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago St., in Joliet.

“As our weeklong spring textiles collection event is one of our most popular events of the year, we thought it was important to offer a special opportunity for residents in the fall,” Bertino-Tarrant said in a news release announcing the event. “As you’re unpacking your fall and winter clothing and blankets, this is a wonderful opportunity to responsibly recycle unwanted items.”

A truck will be on-site in the Will County Office Building parking lot to collect items.

Accepted items include clothing, coats, shoes, hats, drapes, table linens, bedding and fabrics of any kind.

Items with mold, mud or other dirt will not be accepted.

Clean items will be reused by a local nonprofit, and those that are in poor condition will be recycled into insulation, factory rags and more, according to the release.
