Many churches have bins in the parking lot for clothing to be picked up. These organizations also take clothing and linens that are not usable and recycle them. Make sure you put it in a bag and mark it recycle. Also, many animal shelters will take worn linens and towels.
I would check and see where your local thrift shop is , most do take linins and things, if it is in good condition then they will sell it at a reasonably price. Monies usually go to area charities.
Its important to recycle used mattress pads because when they are left in a landfill or dumped somewhere, they start to decompose. This can lead to the release of hydrogen cyanide, isocyanates, and flame retardants, all of which have a very negative impact on our planet.
Most cities have local recycling centers that accept a wide-variety of items that you cant typically put out with your standard recyclables. Drop your mattress pad off at a local recycling center.
