We’re thrilled to accept quality donations while we’re open
Planning on dropping off your donations?
We’re currently experiencing a very high volume of donated goods, so we may not be able to accept them from time to time. Please call your local BSL op shop or Hunter Gatherer store before dropping by.
We kindly ask that goods are not left outside when our stores are closed. We’ll gratefully accept them during trading hours when we have the capacity to store them.

Unsuitable items include:
- Any items that are stained, torn or in need of repair
- Whitegoods
- Bathroom screens
- Baby furniture such as cots, prams and highchairs
- Non-digital TVs and TV units for non-digital televisions
- Building materials, underlay and carpets, awning curtain rods
- Gas appliances
- Computers and e-waste – please refer to http://recyclingnearyou.com.au
- Mattresses and bases, bunk beds
- Outdoor playground equipment (swing sets, trampolines)
