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.

It's unfortunate that so much usable stuff gets thrown out, but I'm pretty sure if you put your un-Goodwillable clothes in one of those rag collection bins, they will grind it up and turn it into paper or something.

Where are these rag collection bins?

Last I checked, there was one in the parking lot of the Rite Aid at Broadway and Temple. Not sure where others are because that's the closest one to me. They are often located next to Goodwill donation bins.
