>Does anyone have experience with or stats on curbside collection of
>reusable clothing?  I know textiles are a small percentage of the waste
>stream, strong clothing reuse collection programs exist in many parts of
>the country, and most people don't regularly dispose of clothing, but
>any feedback on the idea of collecting clothing with recyclables is
>welcome.  Any numbers on clothing reuse diversion or reusable clothing
>vs. damaged clothing thrown away would also be greatly appreciated.
