Rags
Instructions
Put in the gray (landfill) cart. If the rag is 100% cotton, it can be composted, if shredded into less than 1" strips.
Alternatives
Use for as long as possible before disposal and donate instead of recycling if the item is still in good shape.
Facts
Many Salvation Army stores, Goodwill stores, St. Vincent De Paul stores, and I:CO drop-boxes (in commercial businesses) accept clean rags and textiles. Call your local outlet and inquire about textile and rag donations.
