What you can give

Your generosity helps us do good.

When you choose to donate to Good Sammy, you’re not only doing a great thing for the environment, you’re helping us create employment opportunities for people with disability in WA.

While we appreciate all donations, there are certain items we are unable to accept due to government regulations and safety. The disposal of unsellable goods is a high annual cost for us and is money that would otherwise go into funding our social enterprises and employment programs, so we kindly ask that you consider the condition of your goods before donating. The general rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t buy it, we probably can’t sell it.

As well as clothing, household items and more, Good Sammy also accepts many types of electronics through our Electronics Reuse Program, and you can find specific information about donating electrical goods here. For information about other items we can and can’t accept, scroll down.
