When I bought my office chair I also purchased new chair cushions for my lawn furniture. They were on sale and my cushions were so old they were shredding.
I Iove my new cushions but what to do with the old ones. A few years ago I wouldn't have given tossing them into the trash a second thought but that was then and now I'm trying to be more responsible about trying to find a re-use solution. They weren't good enough for FreeCycle or Craig's List so what to do?
My dog solved the problem for me when I saw her cozied up on one of the cushions after her swim. I took them apart, sewed covers for them from old towels I have been saving and gave them to a pet shelter! Problem solved and the pet shelter was thrilled with their new doggie beds.
So think before you toss someone may benefit from your 'treasures'.
