While they appreciate donations made by local people, dumping of large and unsuitable items is causing problems for volunteers.
To make their job easier, if you have furniture please ring the Armidale Vinnies distribution centre on 67721785. This will enable you to arrange for the truck to come to your home and collect any donated furniture.
Problems arise when larger items are left around the blue clothing bins. Vinnies volunteers have to put them inside to protect them from the weather. Often items that have been left outside are ruined by the rain or damaged by scavengers.
Only clothing items should be left in the bins. The truck usually comes to empty the bins early Tuesdays. Vinnies volunteers work Tuesday from 10am to 2pm and Wednesdays from 1pm to 4pm.
The Guyra Conference for care and support is available at the centre from 2pm to 4pm on Wednesdays. Centrelink statements are necessary.
You can contact the Guyra office on 6779 2252 or mobile 0487 792 133.
