Dear A. B. Iely,
Most fabric waste has reuse or recycling markets, particularly by export to the 3rd world. However, there is always some landfilling going on. Talk to the trade assns:
Council for Textile Recycling, Bethesda, MD
Int'l. Assn. of Wiping Cloth Manufacturers, Bethesda, MD
The Reclamation Assn., Bramtton, Huntington, England
Bureau Int'l de la Recuperation, Brussels, Belgium
