would rather avoid committing it to landfill.
You have to wonder what's worse; burying it or getting more life out of it at the cost of spreading the goo on it all around the joint by cleaning it off.

I’ve never thought twice about just tossing rags in the bin when they get oily/greasy/whatever but for me, getting used as a rag is end of the line, t shirts and boxers that I’ve worn out so instead of getting binned they become workshop rags. Use them for less grubby jobs first then the shit jobs as they get a bit grubbier.
Guess I’d feel different if I ever bought clothes specifically for rags.
Someone told me recently, charity shops often have a pile of T-shirts and that that get donated but aren’t in condition to sell that they’ll let you have for rags for free/small donation.

What's the best way to get heavy oil and grease stains out of a workshop towel? I'd rather not put it in the wash and clog the machine up, but equally would rather avoid committing it to landfill.
Can they be soaked? I've got 3 or 4 microfiber towels that are soaked with grease/chain wax etc.
