Fabric Recycling/Repurposing
Cleaning out your sewing room? Have what-was-I-thinking quilting fabric that you'll never use? Wondering how to recycle that bag of scraps? Don't throw these things away - find a new purpose for them!
- Nimble Fingers is currently pausing collection of donations of fabric (clean and odor-free, of course) and gently used equipment to use for making service projects or to sell at our annual yard sale. Check back in September 2025.
- Contact member Annette Montone for fabric scraps that are at least 6 inches square.
- Contact member Luanne Lindeman for batting scraps about 12x18, suitable for pet beds.
- Project B Green, an organization that supports many local 501 (c)(3) charities, accepts fabric and fabric scraps. They are located at Georgia Avenue and Spartan Road in Olney and open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Last resort? The Montgomery County Transfer Station has bins for used clothing and fabric scraps in the parking lot for Electronic Recycling. Put clothing and scraps in separate plastic bags.
