Talize

For-profit · 15 drop-off points · 2 provinces/state, 15 cities · Official website

Talize is a Canadian-owned for-profit thrift retailer that resells donated clothing and household goods at a network of secondhand stores. It is not itself a charity, but it sources donated items through community and charity partnerships (it names partners such as the SickKids Foundation and Cornerstone to Recovery) and positions its model around keeping reusable goods out of landfills. Shoppers benefit from low-cost secondhand apparel and housewares, while donors divert usable items from waste.

What they accept : Clothing, fashion accessories, shoes, linens, books, toys, and housewares, in good condition. They do not accept items such as furniture, mattresses, large appliances, baby safety equipment (car seats, cribs, strollers, helmets), hazardous materials (paint, propane, fuel, batteries), medical supplies/PPE, large exercise equipment, or dirty, wet, or broken goods.
