Spring is the perfect time to clean out those forgotten shelves and give those old sheets, towels and linen a second chance at life.
To celebrate National Recycling Week, Sunshine Coast Council and Noosa Council have teamed up with BlockTexx® to hold a community textile recycling event, ‘Give a Sheet® for the Planet’.
Simply clean out your linen cupboards and drop-off approved items at Chancellor State College, Secondary Campus, Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs or The J Noosa, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads on November 16.
BlockTexx® S.O.F.T.™ (Separation Of Fibre Technology) works by separating everyday products such as sheets, pillowcases and towels back into their individual raw materials. T
he recovered resources can then be reused back into the textile industry or into other industries such as building, agricultural and manufacturing.
