[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every nonprofit wants gently used clothing/shoes, which I totally understand. But what about the not-so-gently used ones? My kids' shoes are worn looking, but still functional. They've just outgrown them. I hesitate to throw them into landfill, but don't know what else to do with them. Same for clothes, towels, bed sheets. They don't have holes, but they do look a bit worn. Where can I donate these types of no-so-gently used items, or is it only fit for the landfill? I'm in MoCo. TIA.[/quote] Most running stores will take the shoes. The shoes that are good enough to be worn again will be re-used. The others will be "ground up" to make a pour and play playground surface. Fleet Feet in Gaithersburg definitely takes them. I think RnJ in Rockville does, too. Textiles that can't be re-worn (underwear, socks, or things just in subpar condition) can be recycled at the waste transfer station in Rockville/Derwood on 355. [/quote]
