Do you have a closet full of old scrubs you don't wear any more and have no idea what to do with them? We all run into that issue. Do I just throw them away? Can I donate them for a good cause? What should I do? Well, why not donate them... Here are 3 great ways to donate your old unwanted scrubs, both usable and non-usable.

1. Salvation Army... A great place to donate wearable used scrubs is the salvation army. When you donate your unwanted scrubs to this organization you are doing more than helping the next person that receives your scrubs. The salvation army holds a huge part in helping the greater good of Americans in need. They offer services such as support for adults, support for children and families, international support, and emergency services support. All of this is funded through their charity and donations. Find your local Salvation Army Here!


2. Goodwill... Good will takes any types of clothing, so you can donate your scrubs here even if they are unusable for the next person to wear. Goodwill plays a large roll in helping with community services as well as job support for adults. When scrubs are unusable Goodwill sells it to textile recyclers so that the cloth can be recycled and reused. Find your local goodwill here!


3. Animal Shelters... For unusable scrubs that have rips or holes in them, you can donate to your local animal shelter. Many animal shelters are happy to take these old scrubs to use as bedding for the animals. Just make sure that they are washed and clean before donating. Use Google to search for your local animal shelter to donate now!

These are easy ways to help and be charitable, but there are many other uses for old scrubs as well. If you aren't interested in donating them, you can use them for cleaning and other projects around the house too.
