Join the textile drive and help the Concord Library reach our goal of diverting 1000 lbs of textiles from landfills! Did you know that over 14.5 million tons of textiles enter U.S. landfills or are incinerated each year? Or that the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water?  But you can help! Bring us your old clothes and textiles and we will help ensure they get REUSED or RECYCLED

Contact Dana Christensen for information (925) 646-5455.
