With the passage of time- through house clean ups, diet and lifestyle changes, 'new year new me' phases and global pandemics, you are bound to pile up things that you don't need.

While it can feel extremely satisfying to get rid of everything and start afresh, unfortunately, your things don't vanish once you dispose them. They end up in landfills- slowly poisoning the environment.
It's important to consider what happens to your things once they leave your possession. They could either have a devastating impact on the planet or fulfill the basic requirements of someone in need- the choice is yours.
To help you with making a more sustainable choice, we have compiled a list of Donation Centres across India that have pickup or drop off facilities available for clothes, miscellaneous household items and even e-waste.
