Holiday Clean-Out? Here’s How to Donate and Make a Difference at Your Reviva Reuse Shop
RRA Sustainability Tips
January in Australia is the perfect time for a fresh start. With families on holidays and the new year underway, many of us find ourselves cleaning out wardrobes, sorting through last year’s toys, and making space for what’s next.
Donating to your local tip shop, dump shop, op shop, or thrift store isn’t just about clearing space. It’s about supporting #WASTE2WAGES, creating local jobs and training for those facing barriers to employment, and keeping reusable items out of landfill. Every donation helps us build a more sustainable future for our communities.
If you’re heading to your local dump or tip, why not make your clean-out count by donating reusable items to your nearest Reviva Reuse Shop, tip shop, or dump shop?
Why Donate?
Every year, thousands of Australians use the summer break to declutter. Instead of sending good stuff to landfill, donating to a tip shop or thrift store like your Reviva Reuse Shop helps keep items in circulation, supports local jobs, and gives your pre-loved goods a second life.
What Can You Donate?
Reviva Reuse Shops accept a wide range of items, including:
- Toys and games
- Clothing and shoes
- Books and puzzles
- Kitchenware and homewares
- Sporting goods
- Furniture, both indoor and outdoor (in good condition)
If you’re unsure, check our donations guide for what we can and can’t accept: https://resourcerecovery.org.au/services/reuse-shops/making-donations/.
How to Donate
- Sort your items and make sure they’re clean and in good working order.
- Drop them off at your local Reviva Reuse Shop. Check locations and opening hours here: https://resourcerecovery.org.au/locations/
- Feel good knowing you’re helping your community and the environment!
