25.01.2022 "ARE YOU OK" DAY... Let's ask this EVERYDAY & mean it We may know your face, we may know you by name or we may never have met you, but please know we have a team of volunteers here with the biggest, kindest hearts & you are always welcome to just drop in for a chat, a ton of silliness & we'll even make you a cuppa!... (All with the utmost of privacy of course should you wish to divulge sensitive information with us) Life gets so busy but let's all make a conscious effort to see through "the smiles" of someone who may "not be ok" & give them some "time"....

09.01.2022 UPDATE ON DONATIONS The sheer volume of clothing donations this year & the fact that we are extremely understaffed has left us no option but to close off donations of clothing for the time being. We would prefer to see the clothing taken to other op shops rather than sweat & spoil in our shipping containers. Our $2 CLOTHING SALE will continue until Christmas at least!!... We ARE ACCEPTING bric a brac, shoes, handbags, accessories, books, cd's, dvd's & all other household items as normal Larger furniture items must first be cleared with us before donating. Much & thanks, B.B

07.01.2022 A word on DONATIONS & Reinforcement of RULES.... Firstly a heartfelt "THANK YOU" to all who support us by donating QUALITY, SALEABLE items (wouldn't be operating without you) & to our customers who buy the donated items - which enables us to give back to the community with $$$ from our profits! We do however get "DUMPED" with items that truly should be just that - dumped!!!... We save what we can, we give away what we can, we think of ways to re-use, recycle, re-purpose, however we are limited in space, limited in helping hands & frankly get very frustrated when folks fail to read the signs outlining items we DO NOT ACCEPT..(Perhaps this is why they are DUMPED after hours when we aren't around to refuse it....?) *security cameras capture all angles & we will be vigilant from now on & follow up on these people* We DO ACCEPT : *CLEAN, UNSTAINED, saleable clothing, shoes handbags & accessories *CLEAN linen etc *CLEAN, UNBROKEN household items, bric a brac etc *CLEAN, QUALITY books, dvds, cds & records *CLEAN, SANITISED, UNBROKEN childrens toys * CLEAN, UNBROKEN, saleable furniture items IF YOU WOULD NOT PAY MONEY FOR IT AS IS - PLEASE DON'T LEAVE IT... We Do NOT ACCEPT: *Baby car seats, capsules, potties or bike helmets (health and safety issues) * Large White Goods, heaters, air cons *Mattresses, couches etc that are stained, ripped or smelly *Broken furniture of any kind *Used underwear or soiled clothing *Boxes or bags of items that are covered with cockroach and mice droppings IF YOU WOULD NOT PAY MONEY FOR IT AS IS PLEASE DISPOSE IN YOUR BIN OR DUMP AT YOUR EXPENSE NOT OURS.. Each WEEK we FILL a large industrial bin with items that should never have been left..that's approximately $70 each week to JJ Richards that could/should be going to worthwhile causes - $280 per month!! When we get a load like the pics below ( delivered out of hours again....) we then have to find muscle, a ute, time & we are billed with the dumping costs! NOT ON...!! We have had folks say " but the dump's not open"...when we have refused to take items. We cop the odd bit of abuse & angry comments when we refuse items & "what am I supposed to do with it then??" FROM NOW ON : *Large furniture items i.e Lounge suits, beds, mattresses, tables, t.v units, gym equipment MUST be first cleared and accepted by Managent before donating. *Security cameras will be checked daily & followed up on should people not adhere to donation rules & regs or those "stealing" donated items. (Local Police work with us.) *Abusive comments, behaviours because of refusal to accept items will not be tolerated - our very limited team of volunteers are working above & beyond to keep up! Again, our heart felt thanks to those 90% who do the "right thing" by us. We love what we do, we take pride in all we do & we do it for our community Thank you for your understanding & patience when we need to close off donations to catch up... B.B
