How to donate to a women’s or men’s shelter?

2

Contact the shelter and ask if they are able to receive items. Often shelters have limited storage - they will advise options if they are unable to receive any items and possible options.

What about clothes that aren't good enough to donate?

3

If something is stained, torn, heavily worn, pilling or has holes, don't put it into a charity donation bag. Use a textile recycling program.

1 - Contact your local council as they often have programs that collect non-donatable items. (Free service)

2 - UPPAREL & Textile Recyclers Australia (Textile Recyclers Group):have a service where they pick up items at a small cost.
