I marked the bag "quilt batting" so that the workers knew what it was and that it had value. I look at it like I look at clothing that I no longer wear. It's just being wasted laying around the house, and somebody out there needs this.
I went to my local Goodwill and saw lots of fabric in bags and batting but it was in the trash. I asked about it and they said they throw it away. It was still in the input area where you drive thru and drop off your stuff. The young man said that they don't have a way to sell it so they throw anything away that doesn't have a size to it. Very sad.
