BE A GOOD CITIZEN
  • Take note of what organisations do and don’t do

  • Only donate things in good condition 

  • Recycle the broken, busted, unfunctional and unusable responsibly

  • Prepare your items per organisations requirements

  • Reach out to organisations directly with any questions

  • Being an all-rounder takes time and tact - when that can’t be bothered feeling washes over you, ask yourself what would Greta do?
