textile recycling center
What to do with the clothing that is 'not good enough' to donate to a Secondhand Retail Store - but 'still good enough' to paint in?
Here is a place in southern Minnesota that will accept such items.

They said they will also occasionally accept the snibbles and bits left over from trimming blocks, etc. when they do 'a grind'
I have about four bags of this kind of thing - what's left of a pair of jeans after cutting as many squares as I could, the seams left over after cutting a shirt apart, etc. etc.

there might be - try googling "textile recycling"
I called our trash pickup company - the person that answered the phone was not helpful at all.
This is stuff that I've been wearing - although not in public :blush: - that I know could be shredded and reused - but I certainly would NOT buy it - or even dig it out of a 'free box' at a garage sale.
