I rent a small studio and my closets are full ! I can get new items if I make space in my closet ... so what will i do with these clothes items i don't need no more ... I can't donate them because they have got bleach stains on them, or they are torn ... not my favourite items either that i would still wear ... I know my mother, very handy, would make patchwork with the best piece of items ... and an assortment of good house items from them, by cutting them in strips and weave or braided them ... but if i am not into this or the fabric is not very good for it ... I can cut them in small pieces and use this as a filler for pillow or cushions ... also perfect if i am a pet parent for my little friend pillow or blanket ... I cut wool and leave outside by the bowl where i feed the birds, in tiny piece, and the next day it is all gone ! and not blown away by the wind ... small animals love it for their nest ... also i can use it to fill a flower pot and add the top soil on the top ... this way it cost a lot less because top soil is some how not cheap ... then i plant on 1-2 " of soil only ... it will breath better the soil under the roots, and also probably decompose eventually ... same for your shredded paper ... this you can put to the blue bin if you prefer ... but not the linens ... and why not saving on rags for the floor or the sink or top soil, etc etc ... and keep the $$$ saved for new favourite clothes this season, after making more space to the closet :)
