Talking Trash

More information on pillow disposal

Earlier this month, I wrote about pillow disposal.  Today, I received this note from C., one of our readers:

I suspect that the person's local veterinarian or animal shelter might be glad to get the pillows to use as bedding for needy or sick animals. Go ahead and ask--they might be delighted.

Thanks, C., for this tip!  In the solid waste management hierarchy, reuse ranks higher than recycling.  And, of course, the possibility of giving old pillows a new lease on life is preferable to throwing them into the trash.
