4 Surprising Ways To Recycle Your Underwear

Rodale's Organic Life

Here’s the Victoria’s secret that your garbage man hasn’t been telling you: your underwear is 100 percent recyclable! While he may not want your old undies, there are plenty of people (or, at least, recycling and donation organizations) who do. And, the Environmental Protection Agency wishes you would hand them over. According to the agency’s estimates, 80 percent of unwanted textiles wind up in landfills, and each of us tosses 37 pounds of clothing per year. So the next time you think about tossing those holey drawers in the trash, toss them in your washing machine with some organic detergent instead, and then choose one of the methods below to recycle them.

Goodwill or Salvation Army stores will take—CLEAN!—underwear and bras in pretty much any condition. If they aren’t in good enough condition to resell, the nonprofit sells them to rag houses that shred the material and use it in various applications, such as furniture or automobile stuffing, or for industrial cleaning rags. Goodwill uses the money from the sale to fund its job-training programs.

Keep in mind, many charity organizations are also on the lookout for donations of new, unused underwear, which are often some of their most needed items. You can donate new children's underwear to kids' nonprofits Underwearness and The Undies Project.
