Industry in US announce first ever “Laundry Hill Day”

Organisations representing the majority of linen, uniform and facility services companies across North America announce the inaugural Laundry Hill Day scheduled for 6 February 2025 in Washington, D.C. Laundry Hill Day provides industry representatives with an opportunity to raise awareness and educate legislators, regulators and their respective staff on the industry’s essential, sustainable services that help businesses, retailers, healthcare facilities, restaurants, government, and other organizations enhance their image and provide clean, safe environments for their employees and customers.

Participating organisations include the Association for Linen Management (ALM), American Reusable Textile Association (ARTA), CSC Network, and Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA), joining together with TRSA for a full day of meetings with lawmakers.

TRSA President and CEO Joe Ricci stated, “Involving several national linen and uniform services organisations helps the industry better represent its full depth and breadth while enhancing collaboration. Our goal is for the industry to speak with a single, unified voice on issues impacting the expansion and protection of the industry by addressing common challenges and advocating more effectively for policies that benefit all members.”

“This event marks an important step in bringing our industry together to address shared challenges and advocate for meaningful change,” said Sarah Brobeck, CEO of ALM. “We truly appreciate TRSA’s initiative in extending this opportunity to other organisations, fostering a collaborative effort that has the potential to strengthen our collective voice and advance our shared goals.”
