Screen donations before they cost you anything.
Every unsaleable donation costs your charity twice: the disposal fee, and the volunteer time spent sorting it. Drop Off Check moves that screening step before the donor ever leaves home.
Cut waste disposal costs
Filter unsaleable items before they reach your door. Pilot stores target a 20 to 30% reduction in rejected stock — fewer skip bins, less volunteer time spent sorting donations that were never going anywhere but landfill.
Lift donation quality
Donors see your acceptance rules before they leave home, not after a wasted trip. What arrives is what your store can actually put on the floor, at a resale value your volunteers didn't have to guess at.
Turn donors into shoppers
A voucher redeemable in-store converts a donation into a visit — donor-to-customer conversion that's currently untracked and unmonetised at most charities. The voucher only ever costs you when it's redeemed.
See what's coming, network-wide
Category-level intelligence on incoming stock across every store, from the same photos your donors are already taking. Store managers get visibility into what's arriving and when, for staffing and sorting capacity.
A worked example: does the voucher pay for itself?
The voucher is charity-funded, so it has to justify itself in real terms — not just look generous.
The scenario
- Donation value
- $75
- Voucher offered
- $5
- Cost of goods on donated stock
- Near zero
- Real operational cost of the voucher
- $1 to $2
The return
- Redemption requires
- A store visit
- Typical redemption rate
- 40 to 60%
- Average op shop basket
- $15 to $25
- Basket vs voucher face value
- 2× or more
Voucher tiers, thresholds and face values are fully configurable per tenant, including turning vouchers off entirely. Estimates shown to donors are always indicative resale ranges — never a valuation for tax purposes.
What stops a donor photographing something valuable and dropping off junk?
A fair question, so we'll raise it before you do: a voucher only activates once a staff member confirms the physical drop-off matches the photos. Staff can downgrade or void a voucher on the spot if it doesn't — the confirmation step is the control, not an afterthought.
