Rehoming Your Pillows: Because One Man's Trash is Another Doggo's Dream Bed
Don't toss those pillows just yet! Melbourne's animal shelters are always looking for comfy donations. Just wash those pillows (they'll thank you for it!), and check with your local shelter to see if they accept them. Who knows, your slightly-used pillow could become a first-class throne for a pampered pooch or a purrfect napping spot for a shelter cat.
Pro Tip: Consider sewing a cute pillowcase specifically for the shelter. Bonus points for a design featuring paw prints or fish bones!

Textile Recycling: Giving Pillows a Second Life (Without the Reincarnation)
Feeling eco-conscious? Textile recycling might be your answer. Several Melbourne facilities accept pillows for responsible disposal. The fillings and fabric are then broken down and transformed into new products – insulation, stuffing for toys, or even car parts! Pretty cool, right?
Word to the Wise: Not all textile recyclers accept pillows. Do your research and check their website or give them a call before you load up the car.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
The Farewell Ceremony: Saying Goodbye With Dignity (and Maybe a Bonfire)
Alright, alright, so maybe a bonfire isn't the most environmentally friendly option. But if the other options just won't work, make sure you check your local council's guidelines for disposal. Some councils have special hard waste collection days specifically for bulky items like pillows.
Remember: Check if the pillows need to be ripped open or placed in a specific bin. Nobody wants a rogue feather fight on garbage day!
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
