Yes, it’s possible to recycle clothes that are too damaged to be donated or fixed. These items can be repurposed in various ways, such as by donating them to animal shelters for bedding, or to charities that can turn them into useful products like face masks, cleaning rags, or chair padding.

For clothes that cannot be reused in any way, recycling is still an option. Dispose of these garments in designated clothing recycling bins along with other textile wastes. They are then taken to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where they undergo sorting and processing. Typically, these textiles are shredded and cleaned to produce new fabric materials.
