Do I Need to Sort the Items?

Yes, please keep items clean, dry, and separated by type. Make sure it's stored in boxes or double-bagged refuse bags.

There is no minimum requirement. Collect what you can, when you can. Every handful contributes to a larger national impact.

Small actions multiplied across thousands of volunteers create life-changing mobility.

Can I Start a Collection Drive?

Schools, offices, and community groups are encouraged to run collection initiatives. Place a clearly labelled container, share information, and encourage participation.

Collection drives amplify environmental impact and increase wheelchair funding.
