DEP Urges Residents to Recycle Household Goods and Clothing PAReMaDe Circular Merchant App, Secondhand Retailers Offer Advice

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), with invited presenters, reminded Pennsylvania residents that recycling unwanted, gently used items commonly found in households, such as furniture and clothing, is an effective strategy to curb pollution. The site of today's press conference was in the Midtown neighborhood of Harrisburg at NEON Vintage & Thrifts (located inside the Urban Snob building at 1006 N. Third Street, Harrisburg, Pa. 17102).
"Pennsylvanians have opportunity around them to curb pollution, and they can start by looking in their closets and around their homes," said Acting DEP Secretary Ramez Ziadeh.

DEP estimates that approximately 10% of the municipal waste stream, or approximately 500,000 tons, is made up of textiles, furniture, and other household goods.

"The potential for recovering much of this waste for recycling/reuse is great," said DEP Manager of Division of Waste Minimization and Planning Lawrence Holley.

Speakers include:
Lawrence Holley, DEP
Robert Bylone, Jr. Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center
Alana Cornish, NEON Vintage & Thrifts
Anela Bence, Stash Vintage
Andrew Kintzi, The Midtown Dandy
