🌱 Environmental Impact

 

Every walker, wheelchair, and hospital bed that STLHELP reclaims is one less item headed to a landfill. By collecting, refurbishing, and redistributing equipment, we give it a second life—helping neighbors and protecting our environment.

♻️ Diversion Impact (365 days, as of September 8, 2025)

➡️ Total: 235 TONS diverted from landfills

​

📈 Year-Over-Year Growth

• 2023: 150 tons diverted

• 2024: 185 tons diverted

• 2025 (YTD): 235 tons diverted

That’s a 22% increase over last year, and a 57% increase since 2023.

​

🌍 Why It Matters

• Home medical equipment is heavy, bulky, and difficult to recycle — without STLHELP, most would end up in landfills.

• By diverting more than 200 tons annually, STLHELP protects the environment while providing thousands of neighbors with life-changing equipment.

• This is sustainability with a human touch: less waste, more dignity, and stronger communities.

👉 Every donation is a double gift: it helps a neighbor and it saves the environment.
