The Upper Valley Lists are also good places to recycle!
Added info from EDM Landman:
SEVCA also takes worn-out textiles for recycling.
Just about anything is accepted as long as it is bagged separately and
labeled as "rags". If you are unsure, though, please give them a call
first. They have to pay for trash disposal, but they actually get paid
pennies on the pound for used textiles. Some items to consider putting in
the rag bag:
* clothing with holes, tears, stains (anything they cannot sell -- our
knee-hole jeans and trimmings from making cut-offs always go in!)
* stretched-out or full-of-holes socks, underwear, bras, etc.
* luggage
* worn-out shoes and sneakers
* old, unsellable bedding
