On Stuff Mom Never Told You, Molly and I recently podcasted about surprising things that you can recycle. We covered athletic shoes, cell phones, blue jeans, prom dresses and so on. But a kindly listener let us know that we’d missed out on one intriguing item: bras. A growing number of charitable organizations, including Bosom Buddy Recycling Programs in Arizona, accept gently used bras to redistribute to low-income women. Across the pond, BCR Global Textiles also collects used bras and distributes them to developing countries.
That listener email got me thinking about what else men and women can do with their unmentionables once they’re done with them. Surely there’s a green option out there for disposing of our skivvies.
