Our op shops have been operating across Victoria for over 60 years.

We value our Volunteers

Peter’s leadership skills were recognised early in his volunteering, when he took on the responsibility of managing the Uniting Op Shop in Hamlyn Heights.

We value our Volunteers

Virginia (pictured above with Paul Linossier and Bronwyn Pike) has been the heart and soul of our Sale Op Shop for 33 years and her service was recently recognised at our Melbourne Annual Public Meeting.

Knowing what to donate

Our op shops welcome donations of quality, pre-loved items during opening hours.

Some items can’t be accepted for health and safety reasons, lack of space or low customer demand.

Please call your local op shop to check if they accept the following goods:

Some smaller shops may not have space for large items like exercise equipment, bedframes or couches.

If you’re not sure, please check in with the team before bringing large items into the shop.

RewardingU

There are heaps of bargains and pre-loved items at affordable prices and with a RewardingU card, you earn points while you shop to spend on future purchases. Op shopping also helps promote sustainability by encouraging shoppers to be part of the circular economy, reducing waste by recycling and reusing.
