This is how you dispose of old bedding

So you can still use the bedding

When you tidy up the wardrobe, you bring out one or the other textiles that you haven't missed for a long time because you actually don't want to use them at all. Either the pieces are out of style, old and washed out, or even riddled with holes. When you've found old bedding that you want to dispose of, here's how you can do it:

• If the bedding is still in perfect order and you hand it in solely because you don't like it anymore, consider donating it. You have various options for this, the obvious one is a clothing donation to the German Red Cross, whose clothing container is included safety can also be found in your area. Wrapped in a plastic bag, you can dispose of the bedding in this way.
• Sometimes, however, baskets from a charitable organization are set up right outside the front door, in which you can put the bed linen. Unless home textiles are explicitly rejected.

• However, if the bedding is riddled with holes and unsightly stains you may be able to use it elsewhere. Use the large covers to wrap furniture and other items in when moving. Or cover something like this in the attic or basement to free your belongings from dust and dirt.
• Give the bed linen to the neighbors' children to play with; with a little imagination, a cave can be built out of it very quickly.

Dispose of bedding properly

• If you just want to get rid of the old stuff and dispose of it properly, you can do that with the household waste. Old clothes are recycled via the residual waste bin, also known as the black bin.
• Alternatively, you can cut cleaning rags from the sheets beforehand and use the old stuff for your own purposes.

As you can see, old clothes and textiles do not have to be thrown away immediately, bed linen can be used for other purposes.
