Put Your Undies Where?

To continue with the Spring Cleaning theme, I'm getting dressed and digging through my underwear drawer realizing that I should start getting rid of some and replenishing my supply with new skivvies. But I've been putting it off because you don't exactly want to add undies to your Goodwill pile because who wants to wear used underwear. So what to do? The trashcan is not going to be an option, that's for sure.

Lucky for me (and you) Patagonia has an underwear recycling program as part of their "Common Threads Garment Recycling" program.

The promo video featuring Agent Timmy is cute and gives you the jist of how this whole thing works. Rather than cramming our landfills with our old underwear factories take your undies, throw them into a machine, melt them into pellets, and turn the polyester pellets into new underwear! Neat right?

How To Recycle:

• Wash your undies (obvs)
  
• Drop them off at the Patagonia store near you
  
• OR you can mail them to the Patagonia Service Center at:

• Patagonia Service Center

Spare your underwear from a boring and harmful existence in a landfill or an incinerator and help provide Patagonia with reusable garments rather than virgin ones to keep their products alive!
