Donate Pre-Loved Clothes Australia
When you're making room in your closet for the latest styles, please consider donating your pre-loved items to those in need. It's a great way to give back to the community and the planet. One woman's trash is another woman's treasure.
Donating pre-loved clothes also offers an opportunity to teach children about caring for people in need and caring for the environment.

Australian Red Cross shops sell new and pre-loved, good quality clothes, and need quality donations all year round. The funds raised support Red Cross teams helping people as they overcome hardship, crisis and disaster in Australia and across the Asia Pacific.
- Salvation Army - by donating your clothing, you’re not only giving a once loved item another life, you are helping the Salvos give hope where it’s needed most. Salvo stores and op shops specialise in reselling donated goods to help fund vital services and activities run by The Salvation Army.
- St Vincent de Paul Society receives clothing in good condition helping Australians doing it tough while also reducing our impact on the environment. Every dollar made at Vinnies shops goes back into the local community supporting over 1.3 million vulnerable Australians each year.
- RSPCA - all profits from sales of donated clothing at RSPCA op shops are used for animal care – helping all creatures great and small.
- Boomerang Bags is a global, grassroots movement that transforms unwanted textiles into reusable bags to replace plastic bags. They then distribute these bags to schools, businesses, events and more. There are over 500 BB communities in Australia (and 1140 worldwide!)
- H&M and Zara have clothing bins at their stores and accept unwanted textiles (from any brand, in any condition). Upparel will collect your unwanted clothes, shoes and linen for a small fee and sort them for you.
