Op shop donation checker FAQ
Common questions about donating to op shops in Australia.
Is the donation checker free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no sign-up. Guidance is based on common op shop policies but individual shops may vary – always call ahead for large or unusual items.
Can I donate broken electrical items?
No. Op shops cannot resell broken or unsafe electrical goods. They must be tested and tagged before sale. Recycle broken electronics via e-waste drop-off points instead.
What should I not donate to op shops?
Never donate hazardous materials, food, broken items, stained/torn clothing, or anything you would not buy yourself. Op shops rely on quality donations to fund their programs. Read our full guide.
How do I donate large furniture?
Call the op shop first to confirm they have space and can accept your items. Many shops offer free pick-up for large furniture donations – ask when you call.
