Can towels (bath, face etc) be recycled?

I bought some new towels today, and am not sure what to do with the old ones. Should I throw them out with the general waste, or can they be recycled?Can towels (bath, face etc) be recycled?
Old towels always come in handy. I would keep them if I were you - you can use them as dust sheets when decorating. You can cut them up and use them as dusters. You can do allsorts with them but if you really want to get rid of them I would try your local charities if you think that the towels are in good condition. Failing that, do you know anybody who has animals - dogs, horses or whatever. I never throw old towels away as they always come in handy for something.Can towels (bath, face etc) be recycled?
Clean them and give to charity shop or if too bad take to recycle centre as materials.
They can be recycled, another option if they aren't good enough to pass on to hostels etc is ring your local animal welfare place as they will probably take them to use with the kennel dogs or cats, this is what we did with our old ones and a heap of bedding too.
Must admit I've never found a better polishing cloth than a really ancient towel; got a neighbour with a workshop? He might be glad of some. Or, as already said, dog shelters and the like can use as many as you can provide - plus it saves the fuel used to cart them off to the recycling place . . .
If they are in good condition, you should donate them. If they are not in good condition, use them in the garage or for rags.
Suggest you pass them over to a neigh bour who has a dog - you can never have to many towels.


take them to a local dog home or put them in clothing recycling bin, us ally located near bottles bank
do you know anyone with a pet dog, dogs always go through puddles and their owners need to dry them off constantly in the winter
well the towels are often needed by dogs homes the other bits you can `put in a clothes recycling bin and they will get to the right place
charity,dusting, car cleaning, basement cleaning, dogs and cats paw and bed rags, art centers will be glad to have them. your local pre-schools and kinder care centers, there are lots of place for recycle,,,
Use them as dusters.
Recycle!!


Your local animal shelter will love you for donating them.
take them to charity shop - they will send them to where needed - hostels, abroad etc
You can take them to your local humane society. They always need them for the animals. Or you can cut them up and use them for rags when cleaning. You could also cut them up small and mix them in your compost pile, if they are made of all natural fibers.
