Where to donate or recycle stained clothes

I've got three kinds of laundry detergent next to the washing machine and four different stain removers. Bleach stick, Ecover stain remover, Oxy Clean stain spray, even the old hair spray stand-by (for ink). But sometimes stains get set in and while I don't mind my kiddos wearing them, once they outgrow them, I often feel bad passing them on.

A woman on my twin parent listserve just posed the question of what to do with stained clothes. It seems to be an urban legend that Goodwill has ways of recycling them. Thought I'd post the useful link she received as a response:
