Otherwise it gets broken up and put into the red top bin as household waste. There should be a way to recycle it, but so far I haven't heard of it...
I filled another bag for the op shops from the wardrobe, looking for one dress that just refused to be found till I pulled everything out. I needed to layer up a very long linen shirt over that dress and leggings to fit in with the slight drop in temperature, and with every hanger I asked myself - did you wear this? And out they went. Now I have space for my winter gear currently squished into one of those oh so useful clear plastic zip bags bedding often comes in, that'll need emptying and shaking out some day soon now that it is downhill into the cool days.
I never thought about using it in pots..
I put a post up in a couple of local groups and a person who works at Mitre10 in Pukekohe says they take it, and he will take it to work with him to save me a trip.
My clothes will fill bot wardrobes and the clothes rack I brought years ago for markets. I think.. Ill throw a sheet over the ones on the rack.
I had thinned them out then inherited most of mums clothes from the home lol.. Oops.. but it is nice knowing Im extending their life and its kind of like her hugging me with her clothes
