Question from jal333
Have you heard of Children’s Orchard stores? We pay cash or store value added credits for kids clothes, toys, furniture sizes 0 through 10. We encourage parents to recycle back with us. If clothes are worn we donate them or send them to recycling centers. We work diligently to give back to the community, work with not for profits, elementary schools, PTA’s, OB/GYNs. We are not 100% green, but doing whatever we can. It’s amazing the wonderful items we have that people bring to us for resale.
This is a small, national family-owned franchise and been in business over 30 years.

Sounds like a great way to participate in recycling.
Readers, remember when we recycle by using an already existing item again, it saves even more resources than when we recycle by coverting the product material to a new product. It’s always a good idea to use an existing item through to the end of it’s useful life before sending it’s material back into the system.
