Donating your reusable items to second hand charity stores prolongs the life an item as it gives someone else the opportunity to purchase something you no longer want or need.

Donating your reusable items for others to purchase reduces the need for Queenslanders to purchase new, imported goods which slows down the manufacturing of new product thereby reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, reducing global warming and the effects of climate change. Similarly, prolonging the life of an item also reduces landfill.

It is important to donate correctly. Lifeline encourages donations of reusable items such as clothing, accessories, books, bric a brac and furniture.

Items that cannot be accepted are torn or stained mattresses; broken lounges or broken furniture; ovens, dishwashers, cots or vertical blinds.

To donate small items, place them inside your nearest Lifeline clothing bin. To donate large items, call your local area warehouse to learn the closest drop-off point or to arrange a collection.

Your next donation of clothing, books and non-breakable bric-a-brac items can be made at your local Lifeline Bin or Lifeline Shop. Furniture donations are accepted at all Lifeline Supa Shops.

You can ring your nearest Lifeline warehouse for information on Lifeline Bin locations or to arrange a furniture pick up.

Your donations help fund Lifeline’s 24 Hour 13 11 14 Crisis Counselling Line, face-to-face counselling, financial counselling, community recovery and support programs for children and families.
