I take mine and donate them to the House of Ruth and other shelters for homeless women and children. They're usually still in pretty good shape so they can be used in the shelter, donated to someone who is trying to set up another home or sold in one of the many thrift shops the organizations sponsor to raise money. There's also a tax deduction area on your income tax for items donated to charities but you need to get a record for your taxes and keep it with your tax information.

Meaning blankets, bedspreads? Donate them to charity. Or a homeless person on street. There are hundreds of people who go without a warm covering when it is cold. If they are pretty worn out you can cut them up and use them as shop or cleaning rags. Or use them for other projects, like reupholstering an old chair.

Donate them or give them away to others who like em.
I do keep a couple different bedding sets though for a change once in a while.

You could donate them to a shelter for someone who is not as blessed as you or the animal control shelter is always looking for old blankets and bedding to let the pets sleep on instead of the concrete floor. Please do not throw them away ---- there is to many things to do with them.

I assume you mean the mattress and/or bedsprings?
i had the trash people take them away.
but if you mean bed linens, that don't fit the new bed, well, you can donate them to a charity, or sell them on eBay, or use them as rags, or throw them away, etc. Lots of options.

Bring them to your local consignment shop. You'll make some money and someone will be happy with them.
