We all have our favorite "comfy" sweater, or soft blanket, but every garment and textile starts as raw materials.  Understanding what is included in the manufacturing process helps turn a "throw away" garment into a "donate-able" one. Northwest Center offers a convenient donation pickup and drop off service for clothing, shoes, and household items. Your donations keep recyclables out of our landfills!
