Letting go of physical items from a past relationship can be both therapeutic and symbolic, and Tinder is on a mission to support emotional healing and reclaimed personal space with The Ex-press Disposal Truck. Now cruising the streets of Mumbai, the hot pink branded garbage truck is unmissable, especially with a rear sign that reads: "Caution: Emotional Baggage Inside."
A brand-commissioned study revealed that 82% of singles aged 18 to 25 prioritize mental health in relationships, while 77% refuse to compromise on self-care or personal boundaries for a partner. In response, Tinder created The Ex-press Disposal Truck to help people dispose of everything from old photos to pieces of clothing, unwanted gifts and other items to represent celebratory steps forward in the lives of singles.
