Even though Darwin comes in as Australia's smallest capital city, there's no shortage of charity bins and second hand good stores near you. And thanks to the map above, you'll easily be able to find a place to donate your clothes and other items.
The Darwin CBD, and suburbs such as Woolner, Larrakeyah, Fannie Bay, Coconut Grove, and The Gardens are all areas where you'll never be far from a clothing donations bin in Darwin.
Some of the charitable organisations that operate in Darwin include Red Cross, St Vincent De Paul, and the Salvation Army. Never heard of St Vincent De Paul? That's because they more often than not go by their other name of Vinnies - much friendlier and easier to remember. Most of these organisations will gladly accept your clothing donations, but only some will accept donations of other goods such as electrical appliances and homewares. If you wish to donate something other than clothes, give them a call beforehand to double check that they can use your donation.
If you do want to donate your clothes, make sure they're still usable. There's almost nothing worse for these organisations than having to sort through all the donations at the clothing bin, and spend time and money hauling off whatever they can't use to landfill. Reports put this is costing charitable organisations in Australia around $13 million each year. Money that could be far better spent.
The map above was created to feature all the charity bins in the Darwin area, but if you know another location that's missing, let us know and we'll add it in. Happy donating!
