Innovative programs divert reusable items from landfill and raise funds for the fight against diabetes.

The Canadian Diabetes Association raises funds in support of their mission to lead the fight against diabetes, and to find a cure. They are also making a difference with the environment through programs such as Clothesline® where items which are reusable are recycled rather than added to Canadian landfills.  With everyone not in the position to make a cash donation, donating clothing and cell phones is a practical and cost-effective way to assist the CDA. Last year, Clothesline® diverted more than 41 million kilograms of clothing and household items from our landfills.
