Donate Jeans and Help Us Set a Guinness World Record! has more to say:

All the denim will be donated to COTTON. FROM BLUE TO GREEN.®. This denim drive recycles jeans into UltraTouch™ Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation, which is used to help build houses in places that have been damaged by hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. Your jeans will help set a record, keep clothes out of landfills, and build houses for families to live in!

They’ve collected over twelve thousand pair of jeans so far. Why not add your old jeans to help set a world record, protect the environment and create sustainable housing? After all, they’re not doing much good just taking up space in your closet!
