Regardless, I've been discarding clothes that I know can't go (or shouldn't) to donation because they have a hole or, my biggest enemy, they have oil splatters from cooking (because I forget to wear my apron). Somehow throwing them away felt wrong so, I have been keeping them in a box, wondering what to do with them. But now there's a good alternative.

Here are some excerpts:
"The clothes are then shipped to the nearest processing plant, graded and hand-sorted. Zero waste is the goal. Items that are too worn and torn to be reused will be recycled and turned into raw materials and new products."
Recycled textiles get turned into everything from cleaning clothes for industrial use to damping and insulating materials for the auto industry.

It's actually very fascinating, I've read about textile recycling in "Overdressed" by Elizabeth Cline (reviewed here: http://www.thebudgetbabe.com/archives/5065-Overdressed-by-Elizabeth-Cline-A-Review.html)
Tons of what you drop off at places like Goodwill and Salvation Army also enter the complex circuit of textile recycling, FYI.
Hope this helps!
producing new clothes can
be converted into new fibers and
non-woven fabrics. Through
recycling, the material is pulled
apart and processed into entirely
new materials and products
such as fleece.
