How to Dispose or Recycle Blankets and Comforters

✅ Proper Disposal & Recycling Methods:

• Donate: If your blankets or comforters are in good condition, consider donating them to:

  • Homeless shelters

  • Animal shelters (many accept used blankets for bedding)

  • Thrift stores (Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.)

  • Local charities or churches

• Repurpose:

  • Use old blankets for pet beds, DIY projects, or insulation in gardens during winter.

  • Cut them into cleaning rags or use them as moving blankets.

• Recycle: Some textile recycling programs accept blankets and comforters. Check with:

  • Local textile recycling centers

  • Retail take-back programs (some stores offer textile recycling bins)

  • Municipal bulk waste or fabric recycling initiatives

🚫 Do NOT place blankets and comforters in curbside recycling bins—most programs do not accept textiles. If they are heavily soiled or beyond reuse, dispose of them in regular trash.
