Recycling pillows??

[Freedom]

Does anyone know what to do with bed pillows?

I bought new ones and the old ones have been laundered, washed and dried. I called 2 pet shelters but they don't take pillows.

I hate to just throw them in the trash!

Any ideas?

perhaps your pooches and kitties might enjoy them......

or you can use them to fill a bigger decorative pillow case......

See if a homeless shelter would accept them for their clients?
Freecycle them?
Have a gi-normous pillow fight?

See if someone crafty you know would like them to use the stuffing for stuffed animals! Church folks often are a good place to check.

Freecycle is amazing! I understand why matress' and pillows aren't accepted at shelters (people and animals) as they would require a bit of work to clean and sanitize. They probably wouldn't take your word that you cleaned them. Good luck!

Oh, that wasn't the issue with the pet shelter; they just told me they need LARGE size beds, and a bed pillow would only be good for smaller dogs; which we all know are seldom at shelters and never for long! And the bed pillows are too large for the cat cages.
