Textile Recycling Drive

Free textile recycling drive!
We host these twice a year – in April of 2025, our community recycled over 3,000 lbs!
Donate your unwanted textiles so they can be recycled into new products.
Modern Saint Living has been organizing these events throughout New England for six years and have diverted 12,418 lbs of textiles from the landfill. We are so excited to be offering this in Keene, NH by partnering with Collection Helpsy. Collection Helpsy is a Public Benefit Corporation and a Certified B Corp with an environmental mission. They are the largest textile collection company in the Northeast US.
