What to do with old bottles?

[~me~]

I have a heap of bottles that I no longer use. Some of them are brand new and the others are in excellent condition.
Does anyone know of a charity that will take them? I have been told alot places like Salvo's and so on wont take them.
I live in Melbourne, I recall a women's refuge that may take them, I just can't remember the name.
I would rather give them to someone than throw them out.

Thanks

I may be able to help, my Mum works with a women's refuge and they are always looking for things to help women starting out. If you don't find somewhere near you let me know.

Thanks Kate, I am happy to post them to her our yourself if she can use them. There was a refuge around Laverton area I think, perhaps she would know, it's is a lady's name I think...just can't remember the name.

Ooh, Kate (sorry to hijack your thread Heather), I have some baby bunny rugs, books and not what - can you please ask your mum if she wants them too before I drop them to the salvos?

I just remembered the name!! It's the Caroline Chisholm Society and their main base in Moonee Ponds. It's not a refuge as such, more of a support place.

Sweet! I am sure they would be able to find a home for them.

Failing the refuge not being able to take them, you could try your local native wildlife care group. I know we are always crying out for any donations!

Great idea! If Caroline Chisholm wont take them, that is a definite. It was something I would never had thought of.
