City Hall Saloon Teams Up With Northwest Center

Β 

City Hall Saloon has joined forces with Puget Sound based non-profit Northwest Center to give back to the community by hosting a convenient drop-off bin for textile recycling that also supports local children and adults with developmental disabilities. Customers and residents are encouraged to donate re-usable clothing, linens, towels, shoes and other household textiles by dropping off bagged items at the collection bin, located at 35317 314th Way SE in Enumclaw.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans discard 85 percent of unwanted clothing and shoes into the trash each year, amounting to more than 11 million tons of textiles added to landfills annually.* Recycling these items benefits local families and the community by providing lower cost clothing options, reducing landfill waste, and supporting local charities.
