Yeah but a rag isn't clothes, so it is outside of the scope of how to dispose of clothes. /s
Generally if they are made of natural stuff they should be bio degradable, so compost?

I guess, at that point, the textile is just trash? Literally, just trash it.
I think the article was more about no place to donate perfectly fine clothes, and the uncertainty what happens to them after donating. Having to throw away 5 items (e.g. because your size changes) will weigh on your conscience a lot less than having to throw away 15.
>Use the rags.
... OP said your comment doesn't seem to address the inevitability of disposal. You only responded with another method of reuse, but let's be honest here - rags need to be disposed of at some point, too.
