GULF FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions Page
How everybody can get involved!
Even though OUR WAREHOUSES ARE FULL and we are concentrating on making and deploying boom right now, ALL salons, groomers, fleece farmers, hairy individuals, & pet owners can sign up to be on our database to recycle hair, fur, fleece, feathers, nylons in future. We do need more volunteers and funding for other supplies (zip ties, crawdad bags, anchor line...) Thank you all for supporting recycling of this renewable and useful fiber! Please be patient for warehouse addresses, we are making boom and clearing space. This Gulf spill will need boom for months, maybe years.
1. All donors sign up to our database program called Excess Access. It's FREE and It's FAST.
2. You will get an email, please click on activation link (check your spam folders). If you get the activation email, you know you'll get the important Gulf donation email. SIGN UP HERE - Thanks! And check out our Frequently Asked Questions GULF FAQ Page.
3. PLEASE SEE BOXING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW for recycling hair, fur, fleece, feathers, nylons, burlap,...
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO BOX YOUR DONATION - set aside ONE designated box (salons usually reuse a box in which shampoo was delivered)
- line the box with a plastic garbage bag so hair, fur, fleece, feathers can't slip out
- ideally, donate shampooed hair, it doesn't have to be. Just don't include filthy hair / fur that has stuff stuck to it.
- any length is fine
- every type of fur & fleece is fine. For hair (straight, curly, all colors, dyed, permed, straightened... all great) butonly HEAD hair from humans, please! Yes dread locks are ok to send - although we find they have fungus inside when cut open - so please separate in their own bag and mark "DREADS". They are handled separately. :)
- sweep in all clippings, JUST HAIR, but please NO OTHER GARBAGE (gum, metal clips, paper cups, wrappers...)
- remember volunteers (sometimes young students) have to stuff this hair into booms and don't want to feel garbage or anything sharp
- tie the top of the bag and tape the box shut
- we also accept washed, used (even with runs) nylon stocking donations in a separate bag, please.
- FUR and other "natural fibers" waste wool, alpaca fleece, horse hair, feathers... again, please, no other garbage or contaminants in with the hair/fur/ fleece fibers... (a handful total per bag of hay and seeds are ok, but no garbage and, of course, absolutely no poo!) Thanks!
- mark the box DEBRIS FREE HAIR (FUR, FLEECE, FEATHERS) and / or NYLONS (just nylons don't need a box, send however is convenient.) And please hold it and wait for our alert emails.
- WHENEVER BOXES ARE NEEDED FOR EMERGENCIES & THERE IS SPACE IN THE WAREHOUSES, we email out addresses of where to send nylon, hair, fur, fleece... Sign up HERE it's free and fast.
Once you're on Excess Access you will be emailed information on:
- large scale emergency oil spills that need wide scale donations to temporarily donated warehouses
- an emergency oil spill near your area requesting hair, fur, fleece, feathers & nylons
- our small California warehouse (NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING - ALL DONATIONS ARE GOING TO THE GULF)
- any warehouse mailing address changes, please just make sure you're Signed up
ONE TIME HAIR DONORS, BOY & GIRL SCOUTS PROJECTS... THE BEST WAY TO PARTICIPATE:Please feel free to download and print our flyers below. We made them just for you!
Individuals: Feel free to sign up, you will get addresses to send hair / fur donations. And, also, tell your hair stylist / barber / groomer about our program and website. We love all your personal letters. For practical reasons, hair & fur in bulk from businesses saves us processing time and funds.
We do NOT recommend individuals collect and ship for other salons. If you want to go to salons & groomers and promote donating, please tell them they can sign up. Don't offer to collect and ship yourself. Donors are more careful about having no debris if they ship from their own busineses. And we only want very willing donors. Also it is very expensive to ship other peoples fibers, businesses can expense it. And thanks for spreading the word, that is a HUGE help!
Teachers and classrooms: We love getting hair from schools! Please collect and mail all the hair loose in one bag, rather than lots of little envelopes, as it saves processing time. And send us photos, we love them!
