Our mission

Let's admit it, we all have been guilty of having that pile of unwanted clothes, furniture and other items just lying around in our homes. You know, the ones - the clothes that no longer fit, the sofa you don't need anymore, toys your kids have outgrown, etc.

The pre-loved usable items can be put to much better use by donating them to charity organizations. Not only can it make a difference in the lives of people in need but also, it reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfills. Further, clothing and items that aren't in good condition can still be given to charities - they are often recycled into other usable items like insulation, stuffing, paper manufacturing and more.

But even though you have all the best intentions, it is often difficult to find charity bins in your local area, or perhaps you're unaware of what the process is or what items are acceptable.

Making finding bins easy

The Solution: Make Finding Bins Easier

To remove this friction and make it simpler for Aussies to donate their unwanted yet usable items, we created the FindCharityBins App.

The web app allows you to locate the nearest charity bin or organisation and op-shops that accept donations.
You can rate, review, upload photos and improve the accuracy of the listing. Your experience can also help fellow Aussies locate and make informed decisions.
You can further filter the bins based on items you would like to donate, such as clothes, toys, furniture and others.
We also have a blog section with guides on the do’s and don’ts when donating items.

Community Driven. Tech Powered.

Currently, we've mapped about 2,500 charity and donation bins in major Australian cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and more.

You can find bins of almost all major registered charities such as Lifeline, Salvos, Save The Children, SCR Group, Smith Family, Red Cross, Vinnies, Anglicare and counting.

We think we only covered the tip of the iceberg and there are more bins that we’re yet to map especially in the regional areas. If you know of a charity bin in your area, you can help us in our mission by submitting the details (location, accepted items and contact details).

With a community-driven effort, we can make donating easier and get more pre-loved items to those who need them the most.
