Instead of a big clean-up, make the most of the space you already have.
On June 5, in celebration of Environment Day, Fondation La Collecte officially launches its , a new way to promote solidarity and reuse.
The idea is simple: many people want to donate, declutter their homes, make an environmentally responsible choice and support a social cause, but they don’t always have the time, transportation or energy to bring their items to a collection point.
With the Space Creation Service, Fondation La Collecte comes to them.
This service allows people to free up space in their home, apartment, basement, garage, closet or storage areas by donating reusable clothing and small household items they no longer need.
Freeing up space at home can have a tangible impact in the community.
Create Space Without Creating Waste
Launching this service on Environment Day is no coincidence.
At a time when overconsumption, clutter, waste and pressure on our living spaces are major concerns, Fondation La Collecte offers a simple, accessible and human solution: giving reusable clothing and small household items a second life.
It’s not about getting rid of things. It’s about keeping useful items in circulation.
Fondation La Collecte does not collect waste. It collects only reusable clothing and small household items. These items are then sorted, with every donation becoming part of a process of reuse, recovery and positive impact.
Donating isn’t about clearing things out to throw them away. It’s about making room for what matters.
On-Demand Home Collection
The Space Creation Service is designed for people who want to donate but need a convenient solution.
It can be useful at many times throughout the year:
- after a major clean-up;
- before or after a move;
- when the seasons change;
- after the holidays;
- after back-to-school season;
- when a family has accumulated too many unused clothes, bags, shoes, linens or small household items;
- when someone wants to declutter their space without having to travel.

More Space at Home. More Impact for Youth.
Behind every bag donated, there’s more than clothing changing hands. There’s a mission.
The reusable clothing and small household items collected by Fondation La Collecte help fund youth mentoring programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal.
That’s what gives the Space Creation Service its true meaning.
People create more space in their everyday lives.
The Foundation creates greater impact in the community.
By taking this simple action, you help create opportunities for young people supported by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal.
A simple action.
A space freed up.
A mission supported.
Giving as an Environmental and Community Action
Environment Day reminds us that meaningful change also starts with simple actions close to home. Reuse what already exists. Keep usable items from unnecessarily ending up in the trash. Reduce waste. Support the circular economy. Support a local cause. Take part in a tangible chain of solidarity.
With the Space Creation Service, Fondation La Collecte aims to make this action easier, clearer and more accessible. Because asking people to donate isn’t enough. We also need to provide a solution that fits their reality.
The Beginning of a Broader Ecosystem
The Space Creation Service is the first step in a broader approach that Fondation La Collecte will gradually roll out.
Over the coming months, this approach will also be introduced in other settings: residential buildings, businesses, events, schools, seniors’ residences, outdoor donation bins and the Donation Centre.
Each component will have its own role. Each setting can become a point of participation. Every donation can help make room for greater impact.
But today, it all starts at home.
In closets. In basements. In garages. In spaces that have become too full. In all those places where usable clothing and small household items are still waiting for a second life.

Instead of a big clean-up, make the most of the space you already have.
