Garbage can.

 

Our pet shelter does not take pillows of any kind.

I took old down pillows to the dry cleaners and they will make new pillows for you.  They clean and sanitize the feathers and put a new casing on them.

 

If your pillows have minimal feathers, I would open the casing up and combine 2 pillows together and have them make a new one.

 

The other pillows with foam need to be tossed.

 

 


@Mistreatedbycs   Don't feathers get crushed with use and lose their loft?  I bet having them remade would be more expensive than new ones.

They also have pillows for covers.  I often have made my own covers and buy pillow forms.

@homedecor1.  Very wise.  I can just see a dog chewing up a pillow and injesting foam rubber, or (heaven forbid) feathers.  Feathers, feathers everywhere.  Who's to clean up the mess?

@Kachina624

 

besides those things they say because of possible "head lice, dust mites, fleas from other peoples pets" these make sense to me!

 

not everyone cleans or cares for things the best😉

I toss them out since, there's no way, I'd buy someone elses pillows.

It is a problem.  I appreciate the fact that you folks are trying to dispose of used items responsibly. Down pillows in the trash isn’t so bad, but the foam or poly fiberfill never goes away. 

 

If you have room, it doesn’t hurt to have an extra pillow in the car.
