What are you doing that eats up so many rags? I have a clothing downgrade cycle that goes from work, to yard work, to rags, and it keeps me adequately supplied, especially when supplemented by occasional worn-out linens.
Work on old engines, the oil, grease, dust, grime, soot, and the rest of stuff that accumulates means lots of rags.

I used to work at a power plant, and we would go through a pallet-sized box of rags every week or two. Grease, especially, eats them up
I'm curious what industrial facilities do with their used dirty rags. Can they be recycled or are they considered toxic waste?
Out of style clothes in good shape seems to be the worst issue for thrift stores. Once the crappy clothes are turned into rags and the modern/stylish good clothes are sold, you're left with racks and racks of out of style/out of date clothes no on wants which is why it was donated in the first place.
