We need your pre-loved goods!
Kidney Health Australia’s own recycling shop is up and running, so far with excellent patronage. Managed by Southern Cross Recycling and located in Settlement Road, Thomastown near Bunnings, our outlet has a wide range of clothing for all ages, books, bricabrac, electrical goods and furniture. The store is stocked with clothing from Kidney Health Australia bins, and we need your help.
We receive a percentage of all sales, so it’s vital that we keep our shop brimming with stock. ‘Kidney Bins’ are placed in many metropolitan and regional locations and clothing collected goes directly to our store, so look for the Bin with the ‘Big Red K’ and help us in our fight against kidney disease.
For further information, contact us on 03 9674 4300, 1800 4 KIDNEY or 1800 454 3639.

Car Recycling
Don't know what to do with your old car? If you reside in Adelaide or Melbourne metropolitan area, your old car can by fully recycled and you can make a contribution to Kidney Health Australia. You will receive an income tax receipt for the value of your donation. Just call the Kidney Car Hotline 1800 4 KIDNEY (1800 454 3639) to arrange collection. If you reside in other areas, call your local car recycler to arrange collection and send us your recycling cheque.
Mobile Phone Recycling
Collect old mobile phones within your school, workplace or home. Instead of destroying old mobile phones, recycle by donating them to us and help raise money to support our work. It's easy - just contact Annette Smith on 03 9674 4300, and we will arrange for you to receive a satchel or a collection box. Not only are you clearing the drawers, but helping our environment in this recycling program. Tell your friends about this program. Email annette.smith@kidney.org.au for more information.
Used Stamps
A fun way to assist us and involve work colleagues, family and friends is collecting good used stamps. Do you open or have access to large amounts of mail or receive mail from lots of friends? Just tear the stamps off, leaving plenty of room so marks are legible. Talk to your workmates and friends and enlist their help. When you have collected a pile of stamps, put them in a large envelope and send them to: Annette Smith, GPO BOX 9993, Melbourne VIC 3001. Our team of volunteers have already made significant funds for us and your help is appreciated.
Used Clothing
We have contractors who collect used clothing and other household items in parts of the Melbourne metro area. Contact them directly on 03 9558 6448 and leave a message about your donation. We also have another contractor who supplies bins located around Victoria. Keep an eye out for these and if you are able to support or host a bin, please let us know.
Kidneys are nature's recyclers and your assistance helps us raise funds - Thank you for your support.
