Thousands of tons of plastic are thrown into landfills around the country each year from the disposal of dry cleaner cleaning bags. Here at the Green Shirt, we have made the commitment to leave clear plastic dry cleaning bags in the past where they belong. The Green Shirt uses eco friendly, reusable hanging garment/duffle bags provided by The Green Garmento www.thegreengarmento.com. The Green Garmento bag is made from a breathable, non-woven polypropylene. This is a recyclable material that does not trap harmful chemicals like plastic does. This reusable bag cuts down on the use of plastic bags thus reducing harm to the environment as well as to pets and children. We ask that our customers join us in helping to reduce our waste by requesting a fully refundable $10 deposit on each of our Green Garmento bags.

When our customers pick up their clothes, they will be hanging in the reusable garment bags, which they then bring home with their garments. Once the garments are removed, the bag is used to store soiled clothing to be returned to our location on your next visit. The garment bag doubles as a duffle bag with an over the shoulder strap and contains the customer's name and account information. The bag can then be dropped off and processed in person during regular store hours or after hours using our 24 hour drop box. All of our customer preferences are stored in our computer system so that we can meet each individual customer's desires even if they drop off in a hurry or after hours.
