*Graduation Cap and Gown Recycling

Do you have an old graduation cap or gown gathering dust in your closet?

Donate them to One Montgomery Green and SAPPlings (Student Advocates Protecting the Planet) to help reduce textile and plastic waste AND decrease graduation costs by making gently used and cleaned caps and gowns available to future graduates. All sizes and colors from all high schools and from Montgomery College graduation ceremonies are welcome.

Factoid: More than 5 million graduation gowns end up in landfills each year, according to Earth911. Most gowns are made of polyester, a petroleum-based fabric that does not biodegrade.
