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 Western Australians with disability.

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. Scroll down for more information about what we can and can’t accept.

Looking for other ways to give?

You can return your 10c containers to a Good Sammy operated refund point or Drop & Go station.

As part of the Containers for Change program, we receive 7c for every container we process, which means when you choose to bring your containers to us, you support us to improve employment outcomes for Western Australians with disability. It’s a win-win! You get 10c per containers and we get 7c, which is reinvested to grow disability employment.

There are so many ways to get involved and support Good Sammy Enterprises. We would love to connect with you.
