While Earth Day is the world’s reminder on April 22 to preserve our planet, every day at Declutter4Good we are passionate about showing our love for the planet through our Donations That Do Good program.
By helping our clients become more intentional about their ‘stuff’ and then bringing their donations to others in need in the community, we are able to give those items a second life and divert them from landfill.
It’s up to each of us to protect this extraordinary planet we call home and with so many options available for donating, recycling or safely disposing of items, we can each play a transformative role.
For the safe disposal of items:
—Household Hazardous Waste:
April 19 (8-4pm): Ottawa Stadium, 300 Coventry road
May 2 (8-4pm): Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, 4837 Albion road
—Batteries, Electronics, Lighting, Paint and Tires and more:
There are many retail locations in Ottawa where you can drop these off. Find a nearby location by visiting the City of Ottawa’s Waste Explorer site.
For donations of gently used household items, furniture and clothing:
