SUTERA ANNOUNCES NEW TEXTILE COLLECTION SOLUTION TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH CLOTHING COLLECTION
Design prevents persons from accessing donated clothing
Greenville, SC, January 10, 2019 - Sutera USA LLC (Sutera) today announced the development of its new textile collection solution that will prevent accidents and deaths associated with the use of traditional clothing collection bins.
The SUTERA Textile Collection Solution unit is an in-ground container designed with a small access tube to prevent persons from entering the unit to scavenge donated materials. The container has a pre-cast concrete and steel design that is safe, durable and cannot be broken into. The collection unit is easily installed, aesthetically appealing and a cost-effective solution to safely diverting textile materials away from disposal. The design ensures a safe experience for those donating clothing, the host service provider and the general public. See images on the following page.
“We were horrified to learn of the unfortunate deaths of persons trying to access materials in clothing collection bins across Canada,” said Steven Cseresnyesi, Vice President with Sutera USA LLC. “Our Textile Collection Solution unit is a safe alternative to traditional clothing collection bins and we’ve ramped up production of these units for public, private and non-profit organizations.”
Discarded textiles comprise of approximately 11 percent of the overall waste stream. The diversion of textile materials is predominantly through drop off collection bins operated by charitable organizations in communities across the United States. “It is important that the public is assured that the materials they are donating do not pose a risk for other citizens and are not discarded in regular garbage, ending up in a landfill thereby preventing the reuse of these materials,” added Cseresnyesi.
SUTERA USA LLC is a Greenville, South Carolina, based company that provides a comprehensive suite of innovative in-ground waste containers designed for the collection of garbage, recyclables, organics, dog waste and other waste streams in the municipal and industrial, commercial and institutional sector across Canada.
