Old sheets- not fit for donation. Any textile recycling?

[Anonymous]

Couple flat all cotton sheets that are unfit for donation. Anywhere take textiles to repurpose?

Goodwill just put them with regular donation.

Dog shelter.
"For Days" mailer but I think you have to pay.
Sometimes those yellow bins in parking lots.

Just put them in the trash. All this donation stuff is a farce.

They’re cotton, they’ll rot. It’s not so bad.

True


Agree with you on donations

Places can clear the the crap people drop off

Agree with For Days but probably doesn't make sense unless you have other stuff to give away--their bags are $20 each plus $5 shipping (unless you buy 3, then free shipping). You fill the bag, scan the bar code, get a mailing label, drop off at Post Office. Then you get some "closet credit" to spend on their website. I have paid for multiple bags, maybe 4-5 so far, and have yet to buy anything from their website. Worth it to me to get rid of old shoes, torn clothing, and textiles that can't be donated. I always add some useable clothing or shoes into the mix but it's not required.

I put them in the parking lot bins. Might as well hope they become insulation or something. I only give Goodwill things they might sell or I feel like I am wasting their resources.

There is no chance of this happening. You’re just putting trash through an additional process for no reason except for you to have your own nonsensical fantasy.

+1 for the dog shelter they take just about anything and they have a sewing machine. I think they cut them into dog size portions and resew

Animal shelter or if you’re a MocCo resident, textile recycling at the shady grove transfer center

I think you are wrong on this...rags and insulation are possibilities.

A local animal shelter or rescue.

Beyond that, 30 percent of donated clothes at S.M.A.R.T. get cut into rags for industrial use, and 20 percent is processed into a soft fiber filling for furniture, home insulation, car sound-proofing and more.

Another vote for local animal shelter. THey'll take really poor condition sheets and towels.

The Zoo accepts these donations.
