Gently used dog beds and other pet supplies can be repurposed and put to a good cause by donating to OC Animal Care or other pet rescue organizations. Common items needed include:

Towels
Newspapers
Toilet paper roll tubes
For more information, contact OC Animal Care about drop-off donation locations and times.
Many smaller local animal rescues will accept gently used pillows. In addition, there are textile recycling facilities across the United States that will gladly recycle pillows. As long as they are not stained with blood, grease, or oil, their fibers can be recycled into clothes, carpet, insulation, and more.
Search Recycle Nation or American Textile Recycling Service (or Home for Foam if you have foam pillows) to find a drop-off station near you.
