楼主 (北美华人网)
这家在社区有捐赠桶,他们接受破旧的衣服,回收做地毯。 上网查查你家附近的回收站 https://www.usagain.com/

Garments that are damaged but of high quality materials can be reused as wiping rags.
Insulation material used in the manufacturing of for example appliances and vehicles can also be made from textiles that are not reusable.

如果家里有小朋友学校搞衣物回收捐赠活动竞争,可以联系这个家回收公司。 在 Nextdoor 上发帖问邻居收集旧衣物,保证一大堆回应。

先前有人说可以把旧衣服当回收垃圾丢掉,网上搜了下,发现旧衣物还是不要进普通的回收垃圾箱。
Why can’t I put clothing or textiles into the recycling bin? Clothing or textiles placed in the recycling bin contaminate the recycling stream which is meant to be clean, residue-free, and only made up of items meant for recycling curbside (paper, plastics, glass, etc). Although some clothing is made from recycled post-consumer material, it cannot be processed in the residential curbside collection system. Many textiles can be reused or repurposed when donated or recycled at a proper facility.
曾经在政府发的回收垃圾的指导材料上看到说,如果有拿不准的垃圾,宁愿扔到普通垃圾桶,也不要扔到回收垃圾桶,因为从回收垃圾里再retrieve这些非回收垃圾会很麻烦。这是仅就是否扔回收垃圾桶而做的讨论。
至于旧衣服怎么处理,看起来还是送到专门的地方处理吧,丢普通垃圾桶也浪费了,毕竟可以再利用。搜fabric recyle,能搜到当地的一些回收点。

不太确定usagain是否接受破旧的衣服,我发邮件问了一下,以下是回复: USAGAIN mission is to supply good and affordable clothing to people around the world who do not have the option of buying new clothes. Which means can only accept reusable textile. For unusable or scrap textile your best bet is to contact SMART ( The Association of Wiping Materials, Used Clothing and Fiber Industries). Their website is www.smartasn.org. 也有的网站说usagain会接受unwareable condition的衣物. 这个SMART网站搜不到任何可回收地址.
