One shop has put up fence to stop weekend donations ( they only want stuff donated in shop hours) they still get heaps of donations and the council collects it all (as it is on the footpath), and it all goes to the tip....
Out of the 6 op shops only 2 of the 6 keep the money in the town, all the rest goes to head office, I think all moneys collected from op shops should be kept in the town, and help the locals???????????????????

I thought the idea of Op shops was to make money to help those in need. eg Lifeline so why does it matter who actually buys the items?Perhaps the wealthier the suburb the more expensive the items were new so are still a good buy for quality. Another reason why the goods cannot be left at the store when closed is that people rifle through the goods taking what they want and leaving the rest strewn across the footpath. We have seen this ourselves. With the bins, idiots were pitting rubbish in them making the goods useless.
