• Metals and plastics used to make appliances can take hundreds of years to decompose in a landfill.

In addition to keeping landfills clear by donating your used items, you’re helping kidney disease patients who are struggling to meet their daily living expenses. AKS has partnered with the American Kidney Fund to help provide patient grants to people who need assistance with dialysis costs, insurance premiums, and other treatment-related expenses. AKF also offers free health screenings, a toll-free help line for kidney disease sufferers, and informational health brochures to increase awareness about this illness.
