Goodwill will accept any clean, not mildewed fabric even if it has holes. If they can't sell it they will send it to a fabric recycler, who will break down the fibers for reuse. Even our old underwear can be recycled once we stop wearing them.
Also, for me, my underwear tends to last for years. I wash on warm, normal dry. I either wear "just my size" cotton undies in bright colors, or for fancy ones I get stuff at Lane Bryant. I've never had a pair of panties last less than a couple years, except when they've been cut off. (Though honestly, I usually set aside older ones for that kind of business.)
