Shoes, Clothes and Toys

GIVE YOUR PRELOVED ITEMS A SECOND LIFE ♻️

Not everything needs to go to landfill.

If your clothes, shoes, toys, or household items are still clean, safe, and in good condition, they may be useful to someone else in our community.

Barcaldine Regional Council encourages residents to support local donation op shops across the Barcaldine Region by donating quality pre-loved items instead of disposing of them.

Accepted donation items may include:

✅ Clothing for adults and children
✅ Shoes in good condition
✅ Toys and games
✅ Books
✅ Small household items
✅ Bags and accessories
✅ Linen and blankets (where accepted)

Why donate?

Donating helps:

✅ extend the life of useful products
✅ reduce waste going to landfill
✅ support local community organisations and charities
✅ provide affordable items for other residents
✅ reduce demand for new raw materials and manufacturing

Reusing products is one of the most effective forms of circular economy action—often even better than recycling.

Before you donate

Please make sure items are:

✔ clean
✔ complete
✔ safe to use
✔ in good working condition (if applicable)
✔ suitable for reuse

Please do not donate:

❌ broken items
❌ dirty or heavily damaged clothing
❌ incomplete toys
❌ unsafe electrical items unless specifically accepted
❌ general waste

Small actions, big community impact

Choosing to donate instead of discard helps keep valuable items in use, supports local people, and reduces landfill waste.

If it still has life in it, let someone else love it.
