Unwanted goods help others

Brimbank residents can give away unwanted household items and help others during the municipality’s reusable goods drop-off day later this month.

Residents can conveniently drop-off their unwanted belongings (in good condition) for reuse. These items will be donated to charities helping local people.

Brimbank council said the drop-off day was a chance for the community to lend a helping hand as more people turn to charities for help amid a rising cost of living crisis.

Donated items will be given to local charity Helping Hands Mission and social enterprises Community Bike Hub and Green Connect

Residents can donate televisions, computers, small household appliances like vacuums, rice cookers, toasters and kettles, furniture such as coffee tables, bikes, homewares and clothing.

Brimbank mayor Thuy Dang encouraged the community to support reusable goods drop-off day

“The rising cost of living is affecting many people, and this is a great way to support our local charities who are helping so many people in need. It is also great for the environment to keep these things out of landfill,” she said.

Donations can be made on Saturday, March 29, between 9am and 2pm, at Delahey Community Centre, 70 Copperfield Drive, Delahey.
