Big cities like Toronto have an equally big job in organizing the waste produced by the city\u2019s residents. Each year, the City of Toronto must manage over 900,000 tons of waste. Managing waste properly requires money, energy, and also occupies valuable landfill space. In light of this, it\u2019s important for all residents of the GTA to try to minimize the amount of waste they produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donating to the JRCC Furniture Depot is one way to reduce waste production while also giving your old furniture items a second life, benefitting someone in need. The JRCC Furniture Depot collects donations of used furniture items like mattresses, tables, chairs, etc. and gives them to households in need, free of charge. All our clients are directly referred by case workers working at over 60 social service agencies from across Toronto and York Region, including women\u2019s shelters, newcomer centres, and organizations that benefit chronically ill and disabled people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By collecting donations of large furniture items, the JRCC Furniture Depot is able to save our clients a lot of money that can then be used on other essentials, like food and clothing. If you\u2019ve already arranged for your used furniture to be donated to the JRCC Furniture Depot, here are some other ways to make sure your household items can find second homes \u2014 benefiting both those in need and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
