This is confusing bc another poster said they don’t take used pillows. Which is it?
What would an animal shelter do with an old pillow?
No they don’t. I volunteered at one up until last December and we DO NOT WANT THEM. Yuck.
They just ended up in the trash. Please stop this mindset in thinking charities want your trash. We don’t.
At the shelter I volunteered with...it would be used in a cage (as long as it was not a feather pillow...that would tossed). They took stuffed animals too! I would just call as there are clearly different policies. I doubt any will lie and have you bring it in just to toss it.
14:51 PP here-that's what the one I called and donated them to said, that they use them in cages. I assume they then toss when soiled. Anyhow-they wanted them! Not sure why a PP thinks that it's some ruse that shelters tell people to help them virtue signal???

Do not do that.
You should wash regularly pillow’s every so often. Who are these people who don’t.
Target sells pillows for $3. Why go through the hassle and waste of washing and drying pillows, just for them to end up flat and lumpy anyway, when you can just toss them and easily purchase fresh new ones?
You buy new pillows every month or two? If so, that’s so wasteful. If not, yeah, you’re supposed to be tumbling dry on hot to kill dust mites at least once a month, and washing and drying every 2-3 months.
Nope not doing all of that. You’re wasteful by using all that electricity, water and energy to wash a bunch of nasty old flat pillows.
My family happily enjoys out fresh fluffy pillows when it’s time, and it doesn’t break the bank.
The freshest, fluffiest people are freshly washed out of the dryer. You.... don't run your pillows in the dryer?

Please keep up with the thread. The animal shelter people are saying No, do not give them your filthy old pillows .
Mine does want them. That's why I posted that I donate to them. Please keep up with the thread.
They’re very nicely telling you want you want to hear so you can virtue signal to your friends later. Don’t wash them, THROW THEM AWAY!
There is no way a charity wants to throw away extra garbage they have to pay for. I am sorry you are just now realizing you don't speak for every single animal shelter in the US. Praying for you.

I throw them away. Along with half-used containers of food, cosmetics that have been opened, and clothing that is obviously worn out. I give away books, clothing in good shape, and things in good condition that I don’t have any use for.
Used pillows should be tossed.

It’s sad that people can’t even agree on how to do something as simple as dispose of a pillow.

I have given pillows to an animal shelter in the past, AFTER calling and asking if they wanted them. They did (I also donated old towels and sheets). Best thing to do is call your local shelter and ASK.
