To reduce needless waste and increase diversion of reusable material from landfills, the NYC Department of Sanitation established donateNYC in 2016. donateNYC helps New Yorkers give goods, find goods, and do good, with tools that make it easy to donate or find used goods.
By donating and reusing goods instead of discarding them, New Yorkers can greatly reduce waste, conserve energy and resources, save money, and help provide jobs and human services for New Yorkers in need. donateNYC is an essential part of NYC’s Zero Waste Goals.
donateNYC also provides vital support for New York City’s reuse community, helping nonprofit organizations and local reuse businesses increase and promote their reuse efforts.
