Kane County is offering a new opportunity for people to recycle clothing and textiles through the County's electronics recycling drop-off sites or collection events.

The nearest drop-off location is 517 E. Fabyan Parkway, Batavia. The hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. Information for the West Dundee drop-off location and 2020 recycling events held in St. Charles can be found on Kane County's website.

The program accepts clean clothing, paired shoes, bedding, towels, and other household textiles in any condition (clean please); toys, accessories, and purses. Items not able to be reused are turned into cleaning/painting rags, insulation, packing material or carpeting.

Kane County’s electronics recycler, eWorks has partnered with RewearAble to collect clothing and textiles for reuse and recycling. Both organizations are non-profits that provide sustainable employment for adults with disabilities.
