At The Organizing Zone, we always recommend the 3 R's to our clients - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Donate unwanted clothing or household items to one of the worthy organizations that will sell them to raise money for the less fortunate.

Donate bicycles, bike parts, tools and other related items to Recycle-a-Bicycle which promotes everyday bicycle use to New City’s youngsters. Visit www.recycleabicycle.com
