A month of months

Last April 2nd¹, I ordered and received a fabric recycling box from TerraCycle. It was $103 for an 11"x11"x20" box, but it was slightly smaller than that.

It filled up super quick². So I p a c k e d it. Tiny scraps leftover from cutting, clothes that I replaced that were stained or not structurally sound anymore. Thread. A lot of things I wouldn't think could be recycled.

It effectively took a year to fill it to where I really couldn't put anymore in. With the current situation, I held on to it a little longer because I wasn't sure about shipping.

Instructions for returning it a year later were hard to find - they weren't in any of the emails I received. It's not obvious on the website, either, it's in their FAQs. You look at the label, figure out the shipper, and drop it off.

I also recycled some items at H&M that were too big to fit in the box. You get a 15% off voucher³. And it's free. But do I really want to buy their clothes? After getting some of their t-shirts with weird fitting, not really.

Either way, I have to go out somewhere and carry a thing.

So, observations, not conclusions.

¹ Yes, I know, it feels like approx. 567 days since "last" April 2nd, but I mean 2019.
² Like, maybe two months?
³ With a very old expiration date!
