trashn2tees

Jenelle Montilone trashn2tees founderTrashN2Tees was born from my frustration with the lack of clothing available for my young boys I really wanted to dress my dudes in fashion that reflected their own quirky personalities- so I pulled out an old sewing machine gathered up outgrown clothing and whipped up a monster truck design Little did I know I was yearning for a creative outlet and a platform to raise awareness for a cause that I am passionate about environmental protection I spent a lot of time honing my craft amp mastering different aspects of sewing so that I could provide not only clever designs but do so with handmade heirloom quality

All designs are original hand cut and made using 100 reclaimed materials Did you know the average American tosses 68 pounds of clothing and textiles in the trash each year These items can be recycled or repurposed What else are we throwing away that can be reused or recycled My goal is not only to encourage and inspire you to consume less and recycle more but to transform discarded materials into practical fun personalized and stylish works of art When we find creative ways to repurpose what we no longer need we can inject color texture joy and wonder into our lives and communities

Not only do I create tees I also create change A TrashN2Tees Clothing Recycling Program recently launched in Central Kentucky where I am teaming up with several county facilities agencies and local charities to help dispose of unwanted clothing Textileclothing waste makes up for nearly 6 of municipal waste and 95 of the that material can be recycled For the past 3 years I have offered incentives to my own customers with a mail in recycling program called TrashN2Cash with the expansion of my clothing recycling program amp along with the great partnerships wersquove diverted more than 34 tons of clothing from our landfills
