Support causes that matter to you

When you book a pickup you can choose to take the refund yourself, or direct it to an available donation option. All donations via refunds will be directed 100% to SickKids Foundation or Toronto Cancer/Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. We will post every quarter the amount of donations and name of donors on our facebook/instagram page to ensure transparency in the whole process. Also, We are working on becoming the Official Partners of these charities, once we do we will be able to issue tax receipts as well.

One household's containers are a modest refund. A school, a restaurant, or a whole apartment building returning together is something much larger.
