Reuse - Repair - Recycle
Since 1991, Ecosmith Recyclers has made it their mission to keep New England green by diverting tens of millions of pounds of textiles and shoes away from the waste stream, while at the same time donating a percentage of profits in support of myriad local non-profit groups.
The Family Behind Ecosmith Recyclers
While running a local town’s transfer station, Pete and Sue Shellenberger noticed a disheartening pattern of textile and shoe waste. Every day, they watched more and more quality items enter the waste stream. Knowing that there were people all over the world who had a need for those items, they set out to find a solution, and in 1991. Ecosmith Recyclers, Inc. was founded.
