Items for animal shelter
The animal shelter in my area wants pet beds, (which can be made from fabric scraps, but you can also donate empty medicine bottles (these they use for the animals' medicine). I also donate empty cardboard spools from paper towels and toilet paper. They make cat toys with these.

The shelter we rescued our girls from now has a place to donate aluminum cans. That is where we are going to start dropping off ours since the homeless shelter we were donating to went to a different system. The homeless shelter now wants the cans dropped off at a recycle place (Bottle Drop) is the name I think. Which is fine, but we can't drop off in bulk (10 -15 bags every few months).
So I am going to call the animal shelter and ask about dropping off in bulk at their trailer they have set up for cans.

You might want to stuff some fat polyester batting or stuffing in with the scraps. I have made some for my local shelter and just using fabric scraps made them very heavy to wash. You might want to make one and take it in. The shelter can always use towels and any extra normal pet supplies.

I just took a few beds by using old sheets cut to tri-fold and stitched around the edges then down the middle and they will dry easily. Cut 24"x72" then tri-fold. They dry in no time and can go into a hot dryer and hot water. You will be sewing through 4 layers around the edges but only 3 down the middle and across. You don't need batting this way.
