Green Elephant Buddhist Op Shop
Basics
The Green Elephant is a Buddhist Op Shop on Enmore Rd in Enmore, Sydney. We are a not-for-profit association raising funds for disadvantaged women in India, and for the local Buddhist centre.
We are inspired by Buddhist principles and many of our volunteers are practicing Buddhists.
We happily accept donations and are always interested in recruiting volunteers!

Help us to achieve the best value for our causes and save the disposal cost of unsale-able items.
Clothes - mark free, clean and largely undamaged. Underpants are out.
Shoes - barely worn condition. People are second hand shoe fussy.
Books - old textbooks struggle, everything else sells.
Videos, DVDs – we won’t sell those with gratuitous violence.
Genuine copies only.
Household goods / bric-a-brac - unbroken is best. Clean if you can but don’t fret on that score.
Linen, bedding - needs to be mostly clean. Blankets can be
scruffy (for use as pet blankets).
Jewellery is welcome. Hard to go wrong there.
CDs, records - genuine copies only.
We cannot accept:
Mains powered lectricals - we can’t safety test them.
Large furniture - our shop is only little! That said if you can store it at your place, we can sell it on eBay.
The best test is to ask yourself ‘would I pay for this?' Thanks so much for thinking of us.
