Out with the old and in with the new.

If you're cleaning out your closets after the holidays, give old and unwanted textiles to the Old Rochester Regional Parent Teacher Student Organization's drive.

Eighty-five percent of clothing and textiles end up in landfills even though 95 percent can be recycled or reused.

The PTSO has donation boxes set up at each tri-town school. The more that is collected, the more funds the group raises.

The following can be donated in any condition, old or new, as long as they are clean and dry: Footwear – shoes, boots, sneakers, heels, work boots, cleats, pumps, dress boots, slippers, sandals, winter boots, flip ­flops; clothing – shirts, pants, undergarments, sweaters, jeans, socks, sweatshirts, sweatpants, T-shirts, dresses, skirts, slips, tank tops, shorts, pajamas, blazers, coats; accessories – hats, gloves, scarves, handbags, duffle bags, tote bags, belts, ties, bathrobes; linens – sheets, pillows, comforters, blankets, towels, dish towels, throw rugs, draperies, table linens, place mats; stuffed animals in any condition.

Items should be bagged.
