Thanks for thinking of us for donating your Op Shop goods. Before you load up a bag or box, please read this list of items we can't accept at our Op Shops.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept goods that are in poor condition and unsaleable. Anything we cannot sell ends up having to be disposed of, which comes at a significant cost to Cancer Wellness Support. We are also unable to repair damaged goods in order to make them saleable. Thanks for your understanding.
