Hobart might be smaller than the mainland capitals, but Tassie punches well above its weight when it comes to community spirit. The op shops here have a different vibe, less frantic, more curated, and you'll often find genuinely interesting stuff that would've been snapped up in five minutes in Sydney or Melbourne.
With around 60 donation points across Greater Hobart, plus some lovely little charity shops in places like Battery Point and Salamanca, getting rid of your old gear responsibly is pretty straightforward. And everything you donate stays local, helping Tasmanians who need it.

Hobart Charity Donations FAQ
Where can I drop off donations in Hobart?
Eastlands in Rosny and Northgate in Glenorchy both have charity bins in the car parks. If you'd rather hand things over in person, Hobart City Mission, Lifeline Tasmania, and Vinnies all run op shops around town. The Salamanca and Battery Point areas have some nicer boutique-style charity shops if you're into that. And weirdly, RACT branches collect stuff for Dress for Success, so you can drop off work clothes when you're paying your rego.
What's Hobart City Mission all about?
They're one of those charities where 100% of the money from their op shops goes straight back into helping locals. We're talking emergency relief, housing support, community meals, that kind of thing. They'll take good quality clothes, furniture, books, bric-a-brac, even artwork. It's a proper Tassie institution that's been around forever and does genuinely good work.
I've got some old work clothes, anyone want them?
Absolutely. Dress for Success Tasmania helps women get kitted out for job interviews, and they're always after professional clothing. Suits, appropriate shoes, accessories, all that stuff. You can drop donations at RACT branches in Hobart, Kingston, Glenorchy, and even up in Launceston. It's a really practical way to help someone land a job.
What shouldn't go in the donation bin?
Anything you'd be embarrassed to hand to a friend. Torn clothes, stained stuff, things that smell a bit dodgy. Charities across Australia spend $13 million a year just getting rid of rubbish that people shouldn't have donated. That's money that could've fed someone or helped them find housing. If it's genuinely wearable, donate it. If it's not, just bin it at home.
Why donation quality matters more than you thinkAre there any good op shops worth browsing in Hobart?
The Salamanca area has some lovely ones, a bit more curated than your average charity shop. Battery Point's worth a wander too. Hobart City Mission's stores are solid for a dig around, and Vinnies usually has good stock. Because Hobart's smaller, you're less likely to be competing with the vintage resellers who clean out the good stuff on the mainland.
