Donate Don't Dump

Introduction

Donating gives us the opportunity to reduce emissions, extraction, and help someone who needs something we don't any more.

Where to Donate

Search this directory for organizations that help find home for all kinds of things including life-changing medical equipment (wheel chairs and prosthetics) and more mundane things like woodchips and crayons.

Pens are not easily recyclable in the context of today's technological landscape. Where feasible, we recycle the plastic and metal parts from the non-refillable and non-reusable pens. Otherwise, we may use the remaining pen parts for upcycling activities to raise awareness about waste in meaningful ways."

Alternative Options

The following are listed from least wasteful or energy intensive, to less-optimal. Be aware that the quality, state, and composition of the items you are trying to get rid of will impact where they should go. Barely-used items that are clean and in good condition should preferably be reused by someone, while dirty and damaged things may be better candidates for recycling or composting.
