Question:

How can I recycle clothing that is too thrashed to be worn again?

What can I do with the ones that are stained and torn? I use some for rags. I once heard of someone using it as insulation. Does anyone have info on someone or place that could find a use for old clothes?

Answer:

Salvation army sometimes have clothes banks in car parks that accept clothes that are in bad condition and re use them for things like blankets and stuffing. so keep an eye out for those. or make a pathwork quilt. you can use the nicest bit of the clothes on the outside, and the not so nice bits for the stuffing. Or if you have children you could make a rag doll. and again use the nice bits for the outside, and other bits for the stuffing.
SORRY BUT I HAVE NO IDEA, SORRY I AM SO STUPID
use them for old rags.if you design clothes than make um ento wearables again,,,use them as a rope tosave someones life with give em to goodwill,
I love to knit. You could give the fabric to someone you know who knits. Or keep it for yourself. The old clothing could be used to make yarn with. All you have to do is cut up the clothing into thin strips (about 1-3 cm wide) and as long as possible. The strips can be tied together. It would be great to make balls of the yarn each in the same color. Or you can experiment and make yarn from multicolored clothing strips to make new colors. Also, if you like geometry, you can figure out how to cut the material into one full strip. This prevents you from having to tie the strips at the end into a knot, which could be unsightly, but passable.
