Op Shop free pick-up service

Have furniture or a bulky household item you'd like to donate, but no easy way to transport it? Our free pick-up service makes donating larger items simple.

Our team can collect suitable furniture and bulky household items directly from your home, saving you the hassle of finding a trailer or van to transport them yourself.

Your donated items are then sold through SPCA Op Shops, helping raise vital funds to support animals in need while giving quality preloved items a new home.

Simply call your local team below to arrange a pick-up.

Can you pick up outside these areas?

Our free pick-up service is currently only available in these selected areas, where we have vehicles and teams available to provide the service.

What happens if my item isn't suitable?

Our team will let you know if an item isn't suitable for donation or sale.

Where possible, we can advise you over the phone. Some teams may also ask you to email a photo of the item so they can assess it before arranging a pick-up.

Otherwise, our collection team may assess items when they arrive to confirm they are suitable for sale in our Op Shops.

Do I need to be home?

Someone should be available to meet our team and provide access to the items when we arrive. Your local team will confirm the pick-up arrangements when you book.
