January comes with a mood to clean the closet, bookshelves, and the entire house for some. And now you have a pile of clothes you no longer wear, books you’ve read and re-read and even pieces of furniture that no longer fit your aesthetic. But this time, instead of discarding them, you can choose to donate them. If you are on board, here are a few NGOs who would be happy to take them off your hands and put the stuff to good use.

Green Yatra
If this drive ends up with you staring at old electronic items such as mobile phones, laptop, washing machine or a microwave, which can neither be repaired or passed on to someone else, recycling them is perhaps the way to go.
