Donating used bedding to a charity

Some of these points are mentioned above.

If you can donate the bedding to the animal rescues direct then that is great.

Charity shops will welcome them, particularly small animal recue charities. Our charity shop keeps the rescue cats supplied with lots of bedding if it is too tatty for sale. It sells a lot of good 2nd hand bedding anyway. Also people come in wanting to buy bedding for their own animals. As mentioned before, if all else fails there is the ragman, but with cat rescues, sheets can even be used just for covering cat traps once the cat is caught, so that they get less upset whilst being transported for neutering. Also for ill animals, the bedding can be burnt, saving any risk of ringworm etc passing to the other animals.

The uses for used bedding for animal rescues is endless.

ps Feather duvets and dogs tend not to be a good combination.
