Are you or a loved one preparing to downsize into retirement living? Our SPCA Op Shops offer a free pick-up as a convenient solution to donate surplus furniture and large household items you or your family member no longer need.

Our dedicated Op Shop trucks are equipped to handle the logistics, saving you and your family the time and effort of moving bulky items – especially if you don’t have access to a van or trailer. If you're unsure about a specific item, our friendly team is just a phone call away. We're here to help make the donation process smooth and stress-free. Let us take care of everything and make it easy for you to give back to a good cause. Contact us today to schedule your pick-up and help make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals in need.

Meeting the needs of older people

Meeting the needs of older people
We understand that downsizing can be a big transition, especially when moving into retirement living. Our SPCA Truck Service is designed to ease this process with compassion and care. Our team is experienced in working with seniors and always aims to be respectful, patient, and helpful. We take care of the heavy lifting, so there’s no need to worry about moving large furniture yourself or arranging transport. Whether you're managing the move or assisting a parent or family member, we’re here to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. By donating your unwanted items to SPCA, you're not only simplifying your move—you’re also helping SPCA raise vital funds for animals in need. It’s a meaningful way to pass on quality items and support a cause that matters.

Not sure if we'll accept something? Give your local team a call before booking a pick-up. Where available, you can also send through a photo for an initial assessment. Our collection team may assess items when they arrive to confirm they are suitable for sale. Can you collect on the same day I call? We aim to arrange pick-ups as promptly as possible, but our schedules can get busy. Pick-ups may be available within a few days, while during busy periods you may need to wait up to a week. Call your local team for the most up-to-date availability.
