How do I donate to Vinnies?
Drop off donations at any Vinnies shop during business hours - staff will assist you. You can also use Vinnies donation bins, but please don't leave items outside if the bin is full as they may be damaged. Never leave donations outside shop fronts. If unsure about an item, call 13 18 12.

Donating quality items helps funds go towards services instead of disposal costs.
