‘Tis the season to donate your old sweaters and jackets! Seasonal donation is important to ensure resellers and charitable organizations can distribute items when they are needed most.
Worn or even torn sweaters, sweatshirts, coats, and other cozy clothing can be dropped off at your nearest textile collection bin. Stains, broken zippers, and missing buttons are OK—just make sure everything is clean and dry.
What happens next? Good-condition items are reused and resold, while the stuff that isn’t up to resale standards is repurposed into things like cleaning cloths and insulation.

This is your sign to donate, swap, or sell your old or unused winter sports gear while it`s in season! Plus, check secondhand for new stuff: You can often find used skates, skis, boards, and boots at pro shops, in online marketplaces, at secondhand stores, and in local gifting groups.
There`s snow ❄️ better way to keep good gear in use! 💵

So, what does that "flammable" label mean? 🔥
The product can be easily ignited and cause fires. Stay safe:
✅Store it in a cool, dry, ventilated place (avoid temps over 80 degrees)
✅Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight (never leave it near the stove or in your car!)
✅Keep it away from other hazardous materials (chemical reactions can cause fires)
✅Take it to a household hazardous waste collection site or event to dispose of it (NEVER put it in your recycling!)
