Old Clothes Collection Drive in Mumbai
October 3, 2026: The Subi Vidya Foundation (SVF) received an overwhelming response to its Old Clothes Collection and Recycling Drive in Mumbai on October 3, with residents of a housing society in Goregaon donating old clothes in large numbers.
Partnering with the Bombay Recycling Concern (BRC), the SVF collection resulted in a substantial volume of clothes, demonstrating the willingness of communities to participate in simple, practical actions for a more sustainable future.
The initiative is based on a simple idea: clothes that are no longer needed need not become waste. They can be reused, repurposed or responsibly recycled, thereby reducing textile waste and conserving valuable resources.
SVF gratefully acknowledges and thanks our dedicated volunteer, Sharon Fernandes, whose initiative, commitment and tireless efforts made this successful Mumbai collection drive possible. Her enthusiasm and determination have shown how one committed volunteer can inspire an entire community to take action for sustainability.
SVF invites media organisations, corporates, resident welfare associations, educational institutions and community groups to partner with the Foundation in organising similar collection and recycling drives.
One household at a time. One community at a time. Together, we can keep usable clothes out of landfills and turn waste into a resource.
Media/Community Appeal:
If your organisation or community would like to support SVF or host an Old Clothes Collection Drive, SVF would be happy to hear from you.
