Unusable Clothes Go In Trash

old shoe and dirty rag images with arrows toward black garbage can👕🚫♻️ Unusable clothing, rags, sheets, and shoes do not belong in the recycling cart. Like hoses and cords, they become “tanglers” that jam up equipment and create safety hazards at recycling facilities.
✅ First, donate usable clothing and shoes.
✅ Second, find ways to reuse (cleaning rags, craft projects, pet bedding).
🚮 Lastly, if it’s truly worn out, place it in the trash.
