Good morning,
Once again, we apologise but we cannot take anymore donations.

We do not have the staff to get through what we have, so the donation bins will be closed and we will not be accepting donations in store.

Please during this time - do NOT leave donations outside our shop or donation bin.

A reminder to also please treat my staff the same way you'd want to be treated while we get through the stuff we have, this is the managers choice to close donations at this time. If there is any issues you can take it up with the manager, my name is Ghost.

On another bar; we are hiring for all rounder volunteers! If you're interested, please come in and ask for me.

Thank you for your paitence and understanding.

Good morning, everyone,

We are now good to start taking donations again!

Our donation bin is open behind the shop, please feel free to use that over the weekend if needed while we are closed.
Dunkeld, your bin will be opened once again on Monday when we get out there.

Just another reminder if the bin is full - please wait until we are open to bring in your donations, do NOT leave them outside the bin or shop. That is considered illegal dumping.

Also, a little reminder; some of the things we can't accept are single shoes, school/study textbooks, any offensive materials, electrical with the cords damaged and obviously anything that is considered trash.

There was an influx of donations last week that were totally not suitable for us to sell.

Someone had put a trash bag in our donation bin on Wednesday/Thursday last week that was just full of rubbish, baby bottle still full of rotten milk, half eaten chocolate blocks and easter eggs, ruined clothes and shoes, dirty utensils, empty smoke packets, kid's drawings and schoolwork, broken toys and unsealed nappies. (only some of what was in there). That is a totally unacceptable thing, and we do not tolerate this behaviour by any means.
If you're going to clean out your kiddo's room, we don't want the part of it that is for you to dispose of yourself, we are not a rubbish dump.

We are trying to keep things out of landfill, please respect our shop and volunteers hard work and how much they do for us, I'm not the only one who keeps this place running, it's mostly our volunteers and all the incredible things they do and time they sacrifice for us to be open 5 days a week, let's not make it harder for them!

Thank you for your understanding.

on the bright side of things;
were having a small bric-a-brac sale!

help us clear out for new stuff!! 😊

26/04/2026

We will be open at 9:30 today to sort out what we can salvage from this - due to some people dumping outside our closed off donation bin right before the big downpour yesterday.
The sign is right there - please NOT do this!
This will be reported accordingly.

Hi everyone, unfortunately, we are having to pause donations once again.
Our back room and all storage facilities are completely filled up.
Please be patient with us while we sort through what we have, we will update you once we resume donations.

We are also in the process of learning a new POS system here in the shop, I ask you please be kind while the volunteers navigate through this transition period of working out the till, they are trying their best!

Also, we are having a small bric-a-brac sale starting Monday! Keep your eyes out for Monday's post.

Thank you!

22/04/2026

We will be closed today from 11:30am for some quick shop maintenance, we will reopen at 12:30pm but could be a little later depending on how we go. Sorry for any inconvenience.
