recycling old damaged sweaters?

Anyone know of where I could bring old soft cashmere and wool sweaters that got damaged from moths but are now clean and holey? I was going to toss them, but realized that some people cut these up and use them for other stuff.

Thanks for any insight.

I have no idea what the local Goodwill's policy was, but when I worked at a thrift store, if we observed holes in the garment (or staining, or whatever) we couldn't sell it. So, maybe if it's a subtle damage (meaning the workers who go through hundreds of pieces of clothing a day wouldn't notice) it's okay, but anything blatant would probably be best off donated like this, or by similar means if there are such.
