Be a part of diverting thousands of pounds of shoes and clothing from local landfills by placing in McCall PTA's collection bin your gently used shoes, clothing, purses, belts, wallets, hats, caps, backpacks, hard toys, stuffed animals and pots and pans. For every pound collected from you, McCall PTA receives $0.15 per pound. Who doesn't want neater closets, drawers, toy boxes, and kitchens, and the knowledge that less textile waste will end up in our landfills?!

If we can collect 2500 lbs. or more during Earth Month, World Wear Project will give McCall PTA an extra $100!!!  Help out McCall PTA and your school by getting your family involved in cleaning out your closets TODAY.
