NEW YORKERS - UPCYCLE YOUR CLOTHES FOR GOODWILL AND LET METHOD DO THE WASHING!
“WASH SMART. GIVE SMART” TRUCK ROAMS NEW YORK CITY FROM MAY 13-15
Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey, Inc. and the eco-cool cleaning goods company, Method, will be taking to the city streets, offering New Yorkers an easy way to clean out their closets this springtime and to benefit a great cause. Method’s “Wash smart. Give smart” clothing donation truck will be in New York City from May 13 – 15.
This stylish mobile laundry room housed in a glass truck will appear at locations in Manhattan allowing people to easily donate clothing to Goodwill. The clean, green folks at Method will take care of laundering all items before delivering the clean and green goods to several Goodwill locations, where they will be resold, or “up cycled.”
Even passers-by are encouraged to spontaneously give an item of clothing. On every day of the promotion, the first 200 people who donate items will receive a free 25-load bottle of Method Laundry Detergent.
There will also be a photo station, product samples, games and prizes, plus a few special guest appearances.
Earlier this year, Method launched a breakthrough in the laundry category – a powerful, plant-based laundry detergent made with a patent-pending technology that allows for 1/4th the dose of the leading national brand and packaged in a sleek, handheld pump bottle.
