Old Towels

There are many uses for old towels such as drying cars after hand washing, letting dogs sleep on them, lining your van with them when you buy bagged manure for your garden, and many more.  So, keeping some is a good idea.  I heard a friend questioning what to do with old kitchen towels, bath towels, sheets, etc.  Lorie Morerro, of The Clutter Diet book, recommends letting a place like Goodwill decide if they are worth reselling to others.  Goodwill workers sort everything and determine the utility of each item.  If old towels are not worth reselling in their stores, they have textile recycling.  She said they recycled millions of pounds of textiles last year, keeping them out of landfills.

If you have some old towels shoved back in a closet that are faded and you don't ever use, donate them.  It will give you more space and help others.
