Every year during the holiday period such as Christmas or New year, places such as hospitals and homes for the aged may be clearing their old assistive devices as they are replacing them with newer ones. Most of these equipments can still be recycled and used by other people. They still have a good lifespan in them of at least five years. Some of the mobility aids that the therapy centers in hospitals throw away includes the wheelchairs, stairlifts and mobility scooters.
