Myer Donation Partnership
You can conveniently donate your preloved clothing and accessories at participating Myer stores during their opening hours. Just drop off wearable items you no longer love or need at any Myer store, except for Cairns, Mackay, Maroochydore, and Toowoomba.

Donating is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
1. Find items in your wardrobe that you no longer love or need and want to donate.
2. Pop your clean, dry donations into a bag.
3. When you visit your local Myer Store, drop it off in one of the Donation Stations at the Myer Hub.
From there, we’ll do the rest! Your donations are picked up by our Logistics teams who then drop it off to the partnering Salvos Stores for sorting and processing.

Every item donated through Myer to Salvos Stores gets individually sorted and evaluated by our Changemakers. Once donations arrive at a store, they move to the production room. Here, our team separates the items by clothing category. Each item is carefully reviewed to determine if it’s in saleable condition (clean and undamaged) or needs to be repurposed.
Clothes ready for sale are then priced based on their condition, quality, and original retail value before being displayed on the shop floor, ready to find a new owner.
By giving these products another life, purchasing preloved goods helps continue the Circular Economy. Salvos Stores are committed to promoting sustainability and slowing down fashion production!
In many stores, some donations might even find a new home on the other side of the country, as selected items are listed on our online store, accessible from anywhere in Australia, anytime!
Ever wonder what happens to items that don’t sell at the first Salvos Store they’re donated to?
If an item doesn’t sell within about five weeks, we send it to another Salvos Store. This gives it a chance to find a new home with different customers. We repeat this process, moving items from store to store or listing them online until they’re sold. Some donations also go to support The Salvation Army’s programs like Doorways and Project 614.
Most of what we receive gets sold, but some items—especially those damaged or left out in the rain—can’t be sold. Even then, we try not to throw them away. Unsellable textiles, for example, are often able to be repurposed into new items like tote bags, scrunchies and cleaning rags through our B-Grade Textile partner.
We’re committed to working with the government and industry leaders to find local solutions for managing our environmental impact and reducing the need to look overseas.
And we are on track to divert even more saleable products this year with help from the team and customers at Myer.
We are dedicated to reducing fashions impact, and through our proud partnership with Myer we can bring more eco-conscious people with us on this circular economy journey.
To give your garments a new life, donate in participating Myer stores and feel good about doing your bit for the environment.
