You heard that right, over 17 million pounds of usable items are kept out of Niagara’s landfills each year because of people like you. It’s pretty amazing what our community can do together.

We’re genuinely grateful for every bag dropped off, every item passed along, and every person who chooses to support a more sustainable Niagara. Your generosity really does ripple outward.
