Declutter for Diabetes

Social enterprise · 2,500 drop-off points · 10 provinces/state, 845 cities · Official website

Declutter for Diabetes is the donation-collection program of the National Diabetes Trust (formerly known as Clothesline), the social enterprise of the registered charity Diabetes Canada, which has been operating since 1985. Through more than 3,000 donation bins and a home pick-up service in communities across Canada (excluding Quebec), it collects gently used clothing and small household goods and resells them to raise funds for Diabetes Canada. Proceeds support diabetes research and education, help send children with type 1 diabetes and their families to D-Camps, and divert textiles and household items from landfills.

What they accept : Donation bins accept only gently used textiles — clothing of all types, shoes and boots, accessories and bags, curtains, and household linens such as towels, sheets and blankets — while the home pick-up service additionally accepts small household items (cookware, tableware, books, small appliances) and small electronics.
