Reply to comment by Unfair_Isopod534 in Massachusetts bans clothing, footwear, bedding, curtains and other textiles from trash disposal by cowghost
Honestly this makes a lot more sense when you look at targeting businesses. The amount of textiles that they bring in and then throw away due to seasonal changes alone is tremendous. Add in growing costs to ship these textiles and I can see how eventually it's just cheaper to write off the loss.
Making sure those can be recycled rather than destroyed seems like a solid cause to me. Are they going to come after an individual for throwing out a tee shirt, no. Kohl's however better make sure they are reselling or donating everything.

Reply to U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 15 million prices from 143 hospitals in Massachusetts and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged.

Well done! I am certainly sharing this.
