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.
