Whether you're doing some weekend closet organizing or have a pile of old clothes that needs to be donated, Sunday is the last day to donate old clothing and textiles for the Worn and Torn drive.
The Worn and Torn clothing and textile donation drive began on July 2 and ends July 20.
The drive began this year, encouraging Byron residents to donate old textiles, regardless of their condition.
With fast fashion filling landfills, the city of London began the initative in collaboration with Fanshawe College and Goodwill industries in order to recycle and repurpose old textiles.
The main goal is to keep textiles out of the landfill. Items can be brought to the Goodwill Donation Centre at the Oxford Street EnviroDepot, 1570 Oxford St. W., London.
