Kids lost interest in their musical instruments? Bring them to CHaRM and we will make sure that they find a good home! We partner with The Gift of Music Foundation to clean up and refurbish used instruments. The Gift of Music Foundation then takes the instruments and gives them to local children who may not otherwise be able to afford them. The Gift of Music Foundation also uses the instruments in their After School Music Enrichment Programs.

CHaRM collected thousands of musical instruments that have been given to The Gift of Music Foundation!

Novelis is the leading producer of flat-rolled aluminum products and the world’s largest recycler of aluminum. They work alongside their customers to provide innovative solutions to the aerospace, automotive, beverage can and specialty markets. Novelis developed the Recycle for Good program that joins forces with groups like CHaRM to collect aluminum cans. The proceeds from recycling these donated cans goes to Habitat for Humanity and funds Atlanta Habitat houses.

Clean Earth Books offers an environmentally-conscious solution for unwanted books. They redistribute and resell useable books. Those that are in poor condition and can not be reused, they shred and prepare them for production of “new” recyclable paper products.

At Clean Earth books, they produce over 40,000 lbs. of recyclable paper daily–that’s about 5,200 tons a year!

Useable clothes and textiles that are dropped off at CHaRM are repurposed as much as possible by Green Zone.
