Falcon Heights is partnering with the City of Lauderdale for this event!
The City is offering free electronics recycling, textile recycling and paper shredding. These services will be in our parking lot, and are available to Falcon Heights and Lauderdale residents only. See the attached map for details.
Paper Shredding Details:
- Residents are allowed to bring 1-5 boxes of paper for the Shredding Event.
Textile Recycling Details:
-
We accept almost all textiles, including clothing, household items, and even fabric scraps.
-
Approximately 39% of the materials we collect are resold to thrift stores. The remaining materials are downcycled into a pulp called "shoddy," which is used in various products like punching bag filling, insulation, car seat stuffing, and cleaning rags.
-
All of Retold Recycling's recycling processes take place within the United States.
-
Retold has partnered with organizations across the U.S. to provide bulk textile recycling solutions, including several events in Minnesota.
-
To date, we have successfully diverted over 300 tons of textiles from landfills. That impact is equivalent to:
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 880,000 kg
- Conserving over 528 million liters of water
- Saving approximately 1,467 tons of raw materials
