Animal shelters tend to have a high demand for old pillows to use as bedding in animal crates. Call or email the organization in advance to check if they are accepting pillow donations and then arrange a time to drop the pillows off. Veterinarian clinics and wildlife rehabilitation centers sometimes need old pillows too.  Make sure that your pillows are in a reasonably clean condition before you donate them. Animal shelters may also accept other linens like blankets, towels, and comforters. While not all homeless shelters accept pillows and bedding for sanitary reasons, it can pay to check because some do! Make sure that any pillows you donate are clean, in good condition, and don’t have stains or tears. Contact the organization in advance and arrange a drop-off time if possible. Like homeless shelters, only some charity and thrift stores accept pillows. Look at the website if there is one, or call in advance to check if they accept pillows. Make sure that the pillows are in good, clean condition. Don’t feel disheartened if the store can’t accept the pillows. This is usually because of overstocking or sanitary reasons. You can always call around to see if a different store can accept the pillows. Use a search engine to find a network for your local community that focuses on rehoming, trading, or gifting unwanted items. Either post a notice about the pillows that you have to give away or respond to an advertisement if somebody needs pillows. This is a great way to make someone’s day and help out your local community! While textile recycling facilities aren’t too common, they are a great place to take old pillows if you are running out of options. Use a search engine to find the closest textile recycling facility to you and contact them to see if they accept pillows.  Textile recycling facilities use the fibers from unwanted materials and fabrics to create insulation, rags, and carpets. This is a great way to get rid of pillows that aren’t in good condition. The pillows just need to be dry, and free of oil and grease. While you can’t place the pillow cover or casing into the compost bin, this is a good way to get rid of old, organic stuffing. Simply place the feather or down stuffing into the compost bin and wait for it to slowly break down. When you have exhausted all of your options, sometimes all you can do is throw your pillows into the garbage. Alternatively, you can take the pillows to the landfill.
Check if your local animal shelter needs old pillows. Ask your local homeless shelter if they accept donated pillows. Contact a charity or thrift store to enquire about donating pillows. Give the pillows away in your local community network. Take the pillows to a textile recycling facility if they are torn or stained. Empty feather or down pillow stuffing into the compost bin. Throw the pillows away as a last resort.
