Trash Wizard Junk Removal will be hosting a Planet Aid box for the convenient use of all residents on the West Side of Worcester.
Planet Aid is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of people in the US, as well as, in developing countries. They provide development, relief aid, and environmental services throughout the world.
Their activities in the US consist of recycling and clothing collection, environmental education and fundraising and they also form partnerships with development projects abroad.
You’ve probably seen the ubiquitous yellow boxes in parking lots and on business properties throughout the state. Planet Aid currently has more than 10,000 collection boxes from Massachusetts to Missouri. These clothes are collected then resold to raise funds for development projects such as supporting schools, building health programs and improving HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa, Asia, and Central America
If anyone knows a company that would like to host a box here is some more useful information:
- Hosting a box is FREE
- Planet Aid empties the boxes as often as needed (Even daily in some cases!)
- If you decide you no longer want it Planet Aid will remove it within a week.
- If valuables are accidentally placed in the box Planet Aid will send a diver to open the box.
- If there is anything lying outside the box Planet Aid will remove it immediately.
- These boxes are fire proof and inaccessible from the outside
