Old pillows can be thrown out in your general household waste if they are no longer usable, but they should not go in recycling bins unless your local council specifically accepts textiles. If the pillows are clean and in good condition, some animal shelters may accept them for bedding. Alternatively, textile recycling points may take certain materials. For larger quantities or during a bedroom clear-out, including them in a general rubbish clearance collection can be more convenient. Always check local guidance to ensure proper disposal and reduce unnecessary landfill waste.
