One man’s ‘preloved items’ is another man’s treasure, except when it is just pure trash.
The majority of the community donate preloved items to the CVCO Burton Street Thrift Store out of the goodness of their hearts and these items are always welcome.
Unfortunately, due to unprecedented theft and dumping of rubbish, dirty, broken and unsanitary items, the CVCO team has made the decision to stop accepting donations left under the verandah out of hours.
Effective immediately, any donations to the CVCO Thrift Shop must be done during opening hours.
Thrift shop manager, Lisa Kakoschke advised as from Monday night, the Burton Street Store had fencing up to stop out-of-hours donations and removed bins from around the town.
