Donate it! Don't ditch it!
Did you know over 4% of landfill is clothing? That’s a lot of clothes that missed out on having a second life!
Reusing and repurposing items is one of the simplest ways to reduce waste and protect our environment. By donating, swapping or buying second-hand from one of the many Op Shops in Darwin, you’re helping to cut down on landfill, save valuable resources and reduce your environmental footprint, all while finding something unique and affordable!
