Donating for recycling
Endeavour is very aware that recycling is playing a significant
and increasing role in our society, which is why we have established
a range of environmentally friendly recycling products and services.
See below for an outline of the products and services available
and contact us today to find out how we can provide a professional
and first-rate service for your business.
Donations of furniture or household items Our Retail Stores - Did you know that
each of our Endeavour Recycled Clothing (ERC) stores gratefully
accept clothing donations across the counter? In-store
donations are an integral part of our clothing donation
stream and by dropping your unwanted clothing & bric-a-brac
items into our stores, you are helping to provide opportunities
for Queenslanders with a disability. If
you are short on time and need to drop goods off quickly,
we have a white wheelie bin located at the front of each
store, which provides an easy access point for donations. Click here for a list of ERC stores.
Our Donation Bins - If you have
a couple of bags you’d like to drop off
after hours, just look for one of our many Donation
bins located throughout South East Queensland
and place your items safely into these receptacles
for our drivers to collect. Please call
1800 11 72 47 to find your nearest Donation Bin
location.
Home Pickups - If you are doing
a spring clean and have a large amount of furniture,
Bric-a-Brac, clothing or miscellaneous items
you’d like to donate, just contact us on 3205 8166 to see if this service is available
in your area.
Donations of trading stock
Endeavour Foundation is registered with the Australian
Taxation
Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient
(DGR) and we are seeking opportunities to source
end of line stock, seconds’ stock, returns
stock, or any surplus stock, for our retail outlets.
There are specific taxation advantages for
companies, which are able to dispose of stock
in this manner. A number of companies currently donate
their returns/surplus goods to Endeavour and
claim the allowable value through their tax return
as a deductible gift.
The process for donating stock is outlined below:
The property needs to be donated to Endeavour.
At the date the property is donated, the manufacturers cost of trading stock (as
determined by your company) of the stock can be claimed as a tax-deductible gift.
The claim is in essence, a cost retrieval exercise via a deductible gift to an appropriate charity thereby allowing you to free up space and funds for faster moving lines.
As with all taxation issues, please refer to a qualified taxation advisor and/or the ATO website: www.ato.gov.au under Non-Profit Organisation/Donors and Gifts-Giftpack for deductible Gift recipients & donors.
For more information on how your company can take advantage
of the tax benefits whilst donating to Endeavour, please call 3205
8166 or email: strathpine.bs@endeavour.com.au
White wheelie bins in your office
Endeavour is aiming to make life easier for you and your staff
by providing white clothing collection bins in your workplace.
Collection Bins are an environmentally friendly & convenient
way of disposing of quality pre-loved clothing and donating it
to a worthy not-for-profit organisation. So, if you are pressed
for time and can’t make it to one of our bin sites, or if
you’ve had a seasonal cleanout of your wardrobe, you can
drop your clothing, accessories, shoes or book donations into the
bin located in your workplace and it will be collected free of
charge.
