Donations

Many charitable organisations in Merri-bek will accept quality second-hand furniture, clothing, books and household items in good condition.

Make your donation count by doing the right thing when you donate goods. Charities spend millions of dollars every year disposing of goods that have been dumped out of hours or are unfit for resale.

Drop off goods at the store

Drop off your donation during store opening hours. Do not leave bags, furniture or other items outside a charity shop when it is closed, or next to a charity bin. It is illegal and you could be reported and fined for illegally dumping rubbish.

Drop off goods at a charity bin

If you are unable to drop off goods during store opening hours you can drop items off at a charity donation bin. Not all donation bins are operated by a registered charitable recycler. To make your donation count ensure it is clean, able to be reused and accepted by the charity operating the charity bin.
