About Charity Bins Australia

Our Mission

Charity Bins Australia was created with a simple goal: make it easy for Australians to find their nearest charity bin or donation drop-off point. We believe that donating should be convenient, and that every item given a second life helps reduce waste and supports those in need.

Our free directory connects donors with legitimate charity organisations across Australia, from major cities like Sydney and Melbourne to regional towns in Tasmania and the Northern Territory.

What We Do

We maintain a comprehensive database of charity bin locations across Australia. Our directory includes:

• Clothing and textile donation bins
• Op shop and charity store locations
• Furniture and household goods collection points
• Book and toy donation facilities

The Charities We Feature

Our directory includes bins and collection points from trusted Australian charities, including:

• St Vincent de Paul Society (Vinnies) - Supporting Australians in need since 1854
• The Salvation Army (Salvos) - Providing community services nationwide
• Red Cross Australia - Humanitarian aid and disaster relief
• Lifeline - Crisis support and suicide prevention
• Diabetes Australia - Supporting Australians living with diabetes
• Brotherhood of St Laurence - Fighting poverty in Australia

Each charity uses donations to fund vital community programs, from emergency relief to employment services, youth programs to aged care support.

Donate Responsibly

Before donating, please ensure your items are:

• Clean and in good condition - Items should be something you'd give to a friend
• Appropriate for the bin type - Check what each location accepts
• Properly bagged - Use tied plastic bags to keep items dry and clean
• Donated during operating hours - Avoid leaving items outside closed facilities

Charities spend millions each year disposing of unsuitable donations. By donating quality items, you help ensure more funds go to those who need them most.
