Great use for your retiring towels

It is inevitable that friends and family will throw you showers and parties to celebrate your upcoming big day. All of those registry items will start coming back to you disguised in beautiful wrapping paper topped with bows and ribbons. It is an exciting time, but with that comes stress. The consumer conscious and eco chicks sometimes don’t know what to do with all of their old items that are replaced with shiny new products. 

We have your answer! Well, we have an answer to at least one of your dilemmas. It is almost certain that you will end up with some new towels as wedding or shower gifts.  As you are going through your old towels wondering what to do with them – don’t fret! We have a place that will gladly accept all of your old towels. They will even take the stained and tattered ones with your monogram that you received as a high school graduation gift from your loving grandmother.  Local humane societies welcome towel donations that they utilize to line and clean the kennels as well as bath the animals.  We promise that the dogs will not mind a nail polish stain, a tear or festive color. Plus you can feel good about recycling your weathered towels while enjoying your vibrant, soft, stain-free new ones. 

In addition to towels, they also accept newspapers, newspaper bags, toilet paper rolls & paper towel rolls.  The cardboard paper rolls make excellent “new” chew toys for puppies.  

If you’re in Atlanta- the Atlanta Humane Society is located at the corner of Howell Mill Road and 10^th Street in Midtown.  The Atlanta Humane Society is open seven days a week, so drop by at your convenience and be sure to say “hi” to the adorable puppies and kittens awaiting their new forever home.
