The Town of Smithfield will host a clothing and household goods collection September 18th from 9 am until 1 pm at the Smithfield Public Works Garage located at 3 Spragueville Road (behind Dave’s Towing Service).

Un-wearable clothing and worn out textiles will be recycled into new fabric while all wearable clothing and useable household items will be donated to Big Sisters of Rhode Island, a non-profit organization with the mission “to reduce each child's vulnerability and enable her to thrive emotionally, socially and academically; to help her grow into a strong confident young woman ready to reach her full potential.” 

All clothing and textiles will be accepted. If your clothing or other fabric goods are worn out and unusable, please keep them separate from useable items. Both natural and man-made fibers can be processed and spun into new fabric for use in new textile items.
