Donate your denim to retail

News:

Now that the warm weather is here to stay, you might not need all those pairs of hot jeans. If you have denim to spare, there's something unique and environmentally friendly you can do with it. Through June 15, take it to one of several drop-off locations collecting used denim that will be made into UltraTouch cotton insulation donated to Habitat for Humanity. It takes almost 500 pairs of recycled blue jeans to insulate one average-size U.S. house, so they'll take as much as you have.

Drop-off locations are Sapona Green Building Center, 716 S. 17th St.; Tidal Creek Cooperative Market, 5329 Oleander Drive; Cape Fear River Watch, 617 Surry St.; B+O Design Studio, 205 Princess St.; LS3P Associates Ltd., 2528 Independence Blvd., Suite 200; and several schools.
