Since resources are scarce, no useful resources should be wasted. Instead of buying brand new products, why don&#8217;t we think of the second hand one? Instead of throwing things to landfill directly, why don&#8217;t we think of donating them? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Give-Furniture-a-Second-Life-825x510-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"825\" height=\"510\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23462 size-full\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fact<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">there are some charities <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">organizations in <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/resources\/destination-guide\/hong-kong\/\">Hong Kong<\/a> are collecting second hand furniture or electrical appliances. Some of the items collected will be donated to the public and some will be sold in second hand markets.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the renowned charities who collect goods for the needy is Crossroads Foundation Hong Kong. Crossroads takes high-quality goods from donors and redistributes them <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">people in need, locally and internationally. It receives various furniture and electric appliances, yet, donors may need to deliver the goods themselves due <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the insufficient volunteers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another option can be The Salvation Army, which is an international Christian church and charity. It has been serving Hong Kong for over 85 years since 1930. It welcomes both organization and personal donations. Part of the donated goods will be directly helping people in need, such as home alone elderly, street sleepers, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ex<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-prisoners and CSSA recipients. If the goods you are going to donate are heavy items or large in quantity, it will provide pick-up services.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you want to purchase second hand furniture, you will be interested in the organization named Green dot Home. Green dot Home established in 2012 with a mission of promoting sustainable living in Hong Kong. All of their goods are in good and usable condition. You may find some high quality second hand goods there.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter you are seeking furniture or throwing away furniture, you can make a better world.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Useful links:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crossroads Foundation HK <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211;
