If your clothing isn't suitable for donation to a thrift store, please consider one of the recycling options below.

Old textiles can be cut up and used for projects like quilts, rugs, and patchwork, or you can use them for rags around the house. Residents can also drop off textiles for recycling at the South Coast Recycling and Transfer Station and Marborg’s Recycling and ABOP center in Goleta.
