Annually NYC residents throw away approximately 200,000 tons of clothes, towels, blankets, curtains, shoes, handbags, belts, and other textiles and apparel. Why New Yorkers sometimes choose to toss out rather than donate their unwanted clothes is believed to be a matter of convenience.
re-fashioNYC is a partnership between the City of New York and Housing Works to make clothing donation as easy as possible through convenient in-building drop-off service.
The partnership is unique because it provides any participating apartment building of 10 units or more with convenient donation services at no cost to the building or taxpayers. Some businesses who regularly collect and donate clothing may also be eligible for participation in re-fashioNYC. The program is expected to grow slowly in response to participation requests and Housing Works ability to expand its services.
