The Great Toronto Pillow Purge: Because Nobody Needs Lumpy Dreams
Let's face it, Toronto. We've all got them. Those forlorn, lumpy pillows languishing in the back of the closet. They were once our nightly companions, cradling our deepest sleep secrets. Now, they're about as supportive as a bag of marshmallows after a toddler attack. But fear not, fellow Torontonians! This post is here to banish those dusty pillows to a fate far more exciting than the landfill (or a particularly enthusiastic toddler fight).

The Farewell Tour: Giving Your Old Pillows a Dignified Exit
- Donation Daze: Is your old pillow still sporting a bit of fluff? Many Toronto shelters for people and animals gratefully accept gently used pillows. Imagine, your slightly-flat favorite could become the throne upon which a shelter cat surveys its new kingdom!

Superhero Status Achieved! By donating or recycling your old pillows, you're not just clearing out your closet, you're becoming a champion of sustainability!
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
