About TrashN2Tees

Section_image_aboutpage

I want to live in a world where we embrace our individualitly. I want to live in a world where we are encouraged to innovate- to seek new solutions to everday problems that will ultimately affect our future generations.

Hi! I'm Jenelle. Though these days I am most frequently referred to as Mommy, I used to hold such titles as President, Waitress, College Student, Mud Bog Racer, and I even donned a big furry cat suit in high school as Suzy Stateliner- the school mascot! Between crushing cars with Monster Jam trucks, judging silly dance contests, and those other less fun household chores... I rescue clothing and textiles from our landfills.

I am a recycling and repurposing revolutionary. I am here to not only encourage and inspire you to consume less and recycle more but to transform discarded materials into wearable, practical, fun, personalized and stylish works of art. When we find creative ways to repurpose what we no longer need we can inject color, texture, personality, and wonder into our lives and communities. I am instigating a movement to change the way we consume and create- will you join me?

TrashN2Tees Clothing Recycling Program 

 TrashN2Tees Clothing Recycling Program recently launched in Central Kentucky, where I am teaming up with several county facilities, agencies, and local charities to help dispose of clothing that is stained, torn, or out of style. Textile/clothing waste makes up for nearly 6% of municipal waste and 95% of the that material can be recycled! For the past 2 years I have offered incentives to my own customers with a mail in recycling program called TrashN2Cash- to date I've diverted more than 2.5 tons of clothing from the landfill. With the expansion of my clothing recycling program & along with the great partnerships we've diverted more than 20 tons together in 2012!
 

What items are accepted?

We collect discarded clothing (stained and torn okay), paired shoes, bedding, linens, hats, handbags, belts, fabric scraps and other textiles.  We do not accept area rugs or carpeting. Items must be clean and dry.

What happens to materials donated?  
The clothing will be transported to a facility where it is sorted into different grades: including usable/non-usable, cotton scrap, cotton blend scrap and synthetics. The materials are later sold for reuse as clothing, linens, etc or to recycling markets that turn materials into wiping rags, fiber for car seats and insulation. Items collected may also be repurposed and used in TrashN2Tees designs.  
 
Is my donation tax deductible? 
No, sorry. TrashN2Tees is a local business that strives to encourage & inspire you to consume less and recycle more by making a positive impact right here in our own community. Through your support of TrashN2Tees you help to reduce the devastating toll on the environment!
