Green Hills Community Action Agency to Give Away Clotheslines
Posted by Victor M in Clotheslines, News on February 12th, 2011
With some help from a local utility provider, Green Hills Community Action Agency (GHCAA) is now offering to help renew a practice your grandmother would have sworn by when it comes to doing the laundry.
GHCAA’s Energy Services Department has received a $5,000 grant from Ameren Missouri to provide clothes lines and drying racks for those whose incomes are at or below 125 percent of the 2011 federal poverty guidelines (see chart directly below on the front page of today’s Leader).
Last year, GHCAA installed 200 outdoor clothes lines within its nine-county service area. Linn County GHCAA Director Monica Baker says about 30 homes in Linn County received clothes lines or drying racks.

It’s worth thinking about getting a clothes line. Think of the money you will save!
Energy costs – financial and environmental
Using electricity to create heat is always an energy intensive exercise; so clothes dryers do tend to be electricity hogs. According to the California Energy Commission, the average clothes dryer will cost around $1,500 to operate over its life span.
Environmentally speaking, the energy consumed by a clothes dryer can be anywhere from 1800 to 5000 watts per hour, or 1.8 to 5KwHr. Given that 1.5 pounds of carbon emissions per kilowatt hour are generated in the production of electricity by a coal fired power station (give or take a bit), over a year this comes to a considerable amount.

Cons
On the downside, not everyone has a large yard conducive to constructing a clothesline. Small or nonexistent yards can make it difficult to put up a clothesline capable of drying your clothing. In addition, many homes are built in areas that have very restrictive building codes. This means the color of your home, clothesline, and even the state of your garage (open or closed) is strictly regulated.
Solution
The good news is even if you live where there is no yard at all or the most restrictive codes you can employ one of the many urban clotheslines on the market. These products offer you the option of having a retractable clothesline, indoor clothesline or even ceiling mounted dryers.
Conclusion
There are many good reasons to air dry your clothing. You will save money on energy bills, have fresh smelling clothes and they will last longer to boot! Check out the many options available from Hills clotheslines which is a leading retailer of all kinds of urban clotheslines. They offer great warranties and will ship units in the USA and Canada.
