Bay State Textiles is a Massachusetts-based company working to keep textiles out of the waste stream, educate communities, and raise money for schools and towns across the Commonwealth with their rebate program. This highly successful program currently partners with more than 100 school districts, 150 municipalities, over 600 schools and several colleges and Universities. Bay State Textiles gives back thousands of dollars to communities and schools every year. Samantha Marino has been the recycling coordinator/account manager at Bay State Textiles for over three years. Her main goals in her position at BST are to expand the program into new areas, educate residents and students about textile recycling, and provide exceptional service to partners and the general public.
