Solution Solution
As part of the “Change” project, a special area has appeared on the territory of each MEGA for the collection of unwanted clothing. All items left in the container are sorted and sent to charity or recycling. Finding themselves inside the MEGA Shopping Centers, shoppers encountered an unusual interactive performance - a Fashion installation, in which New Collections literally danced, showing off themselves in all their glory and inviting tenants into the stores. During the project, Vlad Lisovets personally created stylish images from items collected in MEGAs, thus demonstrating that even boring unnecessary things can have new life and that “old” doesn’t always mean “bad.”
Happy End Result
Sales increased by 2.63%, the average bill - by 7.83% compared to the same period last year (and this is against the backdrop of a 30% drop in sales in Russian market retail(in the shopping malls category)). The PR coverage of the campaign reached 212 publications with a total audience of 43 million people. More than 100,000 on and off-line participants of the campaign became more aware of the issue social responsibility and environmental friendliness. 45 tons of clothing were collected and donated to charity and recycling.

"Dump "
“Just rake everything into one big pile and call us - we’ll come and take it all away at once,” - this is the call posted on his website by social entrepreneur and founder of the “Dump” service Alexey Barinsky. In order for the service to help turn unnecessary junk into good, you need to leave a request, agree on a time and wait for the on-site team at the appointed time. Project employees take away any items except those that are already considered garbage. They accept donations of clothes, books, toys, old and broken household appliances, dishes and furniture.
As a bonus for their frugality, former owners will be paid a small bonus. Then things are sorted in a warehouse, dishes are washed, clothes are sorted and disinfected by quartzing, shoes are cleaned, equipment is repaired (if possible), and books are sorted into categories. At the same time, what is not suitable for sale is separated and handed over for recycling, or disposed of using the “Razfigachechnaya” project. Then, the items brought into proper shape are sold by “Svalka” at a flea market.
Buyers have a large trading floor, where there is a flea market every day from 12:00 to 21:00. Here 90% of things can be bought for less than 500 rubles. The project also has an online store that sells the most interesting things available. Among other things, Svalka cooperates with wholesale buyers, flea markets, enterprises for recycling old clothes, waste paper, scrap metal and household waste. And 70% of the proceeds are transferred to Dobro Mail.Ru.
