PLANET AID CLOTHING COLLECTION BINS
Two yellow clothing collection bins are located at the Coulby Park recycling site. Residents may donate clothing to Planet Aid by placing their clothing in these bins. Planet Aid is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people in developing countries. Their objectives include development, relief aid, and protecting the environment. Planet Aid was founded in 1997 and has since then collected and resold used clothing as a means to raise funds for development projects overseas, such as schools, health programs or HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa, Asia and Central America.

The yellow Planet Aid clothing bins are permanently located at the Coulby Park recycling site. Bins are also located at the various Wickliffe City Schools and other locations around town. Clothing donations may be made at any time of the year.
