Ask RiotACT

Hi Rioters,

I’m looking for clothing bins to donate some clothes. I haven’t been able to find one in Dickson or Belconnen (as some websites have suggested).

Is anyone aware of any in or near these suburbs?

Would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

during business hours – Vinnies have bins in the lane next to their shop in Woolley St – at the Cape Street end; park right in front (it is the drive way to the now unused lane) and easily off load

Kippax shops still has a few, although they have gotten rid of about half in the last few months.
