Brimbank residents are encouraged to participate in the upcoming Reusable Goods Drop-off Day to declutter their homes while contributing to a more sustainable future and supporting those in need.
Residents can conveniently drop-off their unwanted household items for reuse at this no charge event on Saturday, April 20, from 9am to 2pm at the Sunshine West Community Centre.
Items in good condition will be donated for reuse to local charities, including West Welcome Wagon and Helping Hands Mission. Accepted items for drop-off include televisions, computers, small household appliances (such as vacuums, rice cookers, toasters and kettles), furniture suitable for small apartments, bikes, bed bases, homewares, bric-a-brac, clothing, shoes, handbags, backpacks, jewellery, towels and linen.
Helping Hands Mission relationships manager Adam Volpato said the need for donations is at an all time high.
“With the ever increasing cost of living expenses, our services are in unprecedented high demand, predominantly our Emergency Food and Material Aid Programs,” he said.
“All quality donated goods will assist in raising revenue to purchase emergency food items, or go directly to our Material Aid Program to assist those in need throughout the community.”
Residents interested in participating can find more information about accepted items and registration at shorturl.at/hnpQ5
