Denim drive at Extension Office

The Clinton County Homemakers are collecting denim jeans to support the UK Merchandising, Apparel, and Textiles Club’s “Blue Jean, Go Green” denim recycling program. Unwanted denim can be recycled and transformed into UltraTouch Denim Insulation.

As a result, fewer textiles are sent to landfills – reducing the amount of waste. In addition, a portion of the insulation is given to communities in need to assist with building efforts.

In their continued efforts to celebrate 50 years of Clinton County Homemakers, the Homemakers have a goal of collecting 500 pairs of denim jeans. Jeans with or without embellishments and of any color and condition are accepted, including scrap material.

Encourage others to participate and drop all jeans off at the Extension Office by October 21st.

For more information, contact the Extension Office at 387-5404.
