Re-gift and recycle: RSPCA Op Shops

Posted Jan 28, 2025
The easiest resolution is to re-gift and support sustainable living!

Did you know we have 22 delightful RSPCA Op Shops sprinkled across Queensland? From the Gold Coast to Townsville!

With incredible volunteers helping in our stores, every item donation to one of our Op Shops turns into dollars donated towards our RSPCA animals in need!

Avoid an awkward re-gifting moment

We’ve all got that awkward story – receiving an item that you know was regifted! That present that you didn’t want for Christmas… re-gifted as a birthday present for someone else, or worse still – back to the original gift giver!

To avoid re-gifting to your rellies… why not donate your unwanted Christmas presents this year? Find your nearest RSPCA Op Shop.

Ditch the dump

By re-gifting your good quality, unwanted items… you’re helping support a sustainable cycle!

Last year, our RSPCA Op Shops saved an impressive 168 tonnes of items from ending up as landfill! That’s an extra 115 tonnes saved in 2024!

Got good quality, pre-loved furniture you no longer need? That’s our top item needed in our Op Shops this year!

Support second chances

Our RSPCA Op Shops also bring thrifty shoppers and animal lovers together by helping our sweet cats and kitties find their furever families! 600 felines were adopted across seven of our Op Shops last year.

Is volunteering part of your New Year Resolution? Our RSPCA Op Shops are always in need of extra hands on deck… to sort donations, stock our displays, and even pat our cats... If you have a few hours to spare a week, why not become a super awesome Op Shop Volunteer? Apply online to volunteer today and join our friendly, passionate team helping to change lives. We urgently need volunteers at Moorooka, Stones Corner, Wacol, Underwood, Sherwood, New Farm, Ascot, North Tamborine, and Robina!
