davis_squareI have some clothing, bed sheets, etc that aren't "lightly used" They are worn, some of them have holes, etc. Goodwill doesn't want them because evidently they have to pay to recycle unusable clothing, and I have no desire to make Goodwill PAY money...
I'm sure that *SOME* of my stuff is usable by someone, but I'm even more sure that the rest of it can be shredded and turned into rags, or futon stuffing, or something useful. Does anyone know where I can do this? My Google fu is weak, the Somerville web page doesn't appear to say anything useful, and MBTA just says not to leave them touching the 3rd rail...
does anyone have any suggestions?
ETA: I suppose some crafter might want them as well, but that seems less likely to me...
