Donations of clothing & household goods welcomed daily near you

Your donations of gently used clothing and household goods help us to:

• Reduce the environmental burden of the production of new goods

• Keep usable items out of local landfills and empower them to make a difference

• Generate funds to support local Salvation Army programs and services across Canada

Together, we diverted over 79.8 million pounds of clothing, household goods, and more from local landfills last year*

The average weight of an adult Canadian is 171 lbs, which means that the weight of clothing and household items we diverted is equal to 466,879 adult Canadians.

*in fiscal year 2021-22

This diversion resulted in:

133,989 Kilolitres

of water saved

809,365 Tonnes

of carbon emissions displaced

Which is equivalent to:

37,173,898 trees

planted

175,949 cars

removed from the road
