According to the EPA, each year, 2,500,000,000 pounds of used clothing ended up there. Phew, that's a lot of zeros. What's more, the average person (yes, that's you and me), adds more than 67 pounds of clothing to the pile each year (Source: Council for Textile Recycling). And 99% of that could have been reused or recycled.
What a waste. There are piles of reasons to recycle your used clothing, shoes, belts, handbags and stuffed animals. Not the least of which are the mountains of discarded garments that end up in America's landfills each and every year. Clothing that can take hundreds of years to decompose. It's an alarming situation that's growing bigger and uglier every day.

The history of recycling is as old as the earth itself. The fact is the planet has been doing it since the planet began. Humans since humanity began. For instance, the ancient Egyptians wove new fabrics made from old mummy wrappings. Talk about reincarnation! Now fast forward five thousand years. Those mummies would be rolling over in the sarcophagus.
