Donate Old Towels

Here at simplychecklists.com, we like to hear about new ways to Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. Did you know that November 15 was America Recycles Day? Well if you missed it, here's your opportunity to have a make-up day.

I was at the veterinarian's office when I overheard one of the office staff mention that they always need old towels. They go through lots of towels throughout the day and need a large supply. Well as it happens, I had at least 12 old towels in the garage. We use them for cleaning the cars, as a seat protector while working in the garden, and wiping hands after painting. But I didn't need to store a dozen or more towels for any of those chores. So I packed up six of them and took them to my favorite vet's clinic.

If you prefer you can donate old towels to your local wildlife sanctuary or animal shelter.
