Recycle Your T-Shirts at Barneys Stores

Starting April 13, you can bring in T-shirts to all Barneys locations which will be “re-fashioned” into limited edition T-shirts sold exclusively at Barneys over the 2008 holidays.

The program is a partnership between Sundance Channel’s “The Green,” Barneys New York and Loomstate. Barneys will collect the T-shirts, and Loomstate will re-style, re-dye and re-print to create new shirts. Participating consumers will receive a 20 percent discount on both men’s and women’s Loomstate merchandise.

There has been no announcement in regards to restrictions on types of T-shirts accepted or required quality of the shirts. To find a place to reuse or recycle clothing in your area, use Earth 911′s recycling locator.
