USAgain Bins at Hixson
In the circle drive parking lot of Hixson Middle School, there are two green and white USAgain bins. These are donation bins for used shoes and clothing. USAgain Bins collect and then send the donated items to developing countries. Recycling these items keeps them out of landfills, saves a lot of resources and materials and helps keep the environment healthy.
In a little over a year Hixson Middle School has collected 2,489 pounds of clothes and shoes. This has saved 5.97million gallons of water and has kept 37,335 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Every time a bin gets full, USAgain plants a tree to help reforest a specific area in need. So far from what Hixson has collected, 6 trees have been planted as a result of our collections.
If you donate to this cause more people can be helped, more resources can be saved, and you can help make our planet a healthier place for all. Please consider cleaning out your closet and helping this great cause.
