Good Sammy and City of Canning team up on home donation collections

Good Sammy has partnered the City of Canning to bring donation collection straight to the homes of local residents.

Good Sammy has offered home collection of large items of furniture across the Perth metropolitan area for some time, however as part of this new trial City of Canning residents will also benefit from home collection of smaller, quality pre-loved goods including clothing, shoes, handbags, linen and toys.

In a Western Australian local government first, Canning residents will be able to book two free collections, from their residential address, of up to five bags of pre-loved items per year. Residents will be able to book their free collection through the council’s on-demand waste services or by calling 1300 422 664 to book a collection date.

Good Sammy Chief Executive Officer, Kane Blackman, said the pre-loved collection service complemented other on-demand collection services offered within Canning.

“Canning residents who use this service will also create employment opportunities for people with disability who drive Good Sammy’s trucks and handle the items, while they do right by the environment as well.

“Good Sammy congratulates the City for pursuing initiatives such as this that deliver both economic inclusion and environmental outcomes,” said Mr Blackman.

City of Canning Mayor Patrick Hall said the innovative partnership between the City and Good Sammy will help promote the benefits of a circular economy and will make donating good quality items even easier for residents.

“This initiative aims to help divert quality household items from going to landfill, promoting a more sustainable approach to waste management within the community.

“Donating your unwanted goods and purchasing secondhand items creates less waste and is good for the environment as well as your wallet,” said Mayor Hall.

The trial on-demand donation collection service will run from 14 November 2024 – 13 November 2025.
