Kate Buchheit runs along the Burdette Trails often.

“They are really gorgeous,” said the junior food and nutrition major.

Buchheit manned the table for the Spiritual Diversity Project’s Community Recycling Thursday afternoon.

Students and community members can donate clothing and shoes in a pod at the back of Parking Lot B. The clothing sells by the pound. All of the money made will go toward improving the Burdette Trails.

Buchheit said this is the first time the Spritual Diversity Project has held a clothing drive.

“I didn’t know we could do this – recycle clothes,” she said.

The pod holds up to 8,000 lbs.

“It’s nice getting to work together no matter age or background,” Buccheit said.

The Spiritual Diversity Project Intern Molly Mahoney said they hope to fill the entire pod.

“If we can do that, we can get another pod to fill,” she said.

Mahoney, senior sociology major, said the project allows the community to partner with USI.

“Even though USI is its own separate campus, the community can join us and come together,” she said.
