What to do with old duvets and old pillows, in not too bad condition?

We used to be able to take things like that to the RSPCA. What do people do with them now? They're in quite decent condition, but no longer needed. Seems awful to just take to the tip. ANy ideas?

People are likely to want to know whether these are feather or polyester.  I'm pretty sure my mother had a large feather eiderdown made into singles.  Pre-central heating we all had eiderdowns.  I'm allergic to feathers so stay well clear of them!

Thanks Philippa. Will pass that on. Not heard of that before

www.trashnothing.comIt is an easy interface for freecycle and you can adjust the area to suit.  This is for giving things away and the onus is on whoever wants something to collect.One person's trash is another's treasure.Have a look - it is surprising the things that people are searching for and for what people are giving away.

Yes. Assuming you have a loft lay them up there for addition insulation.
