FED: Dumped rubbish, unusable donations costs Salvos $6m plus

Tonnes of unusable donations and rubbish have been dumped outside Salvation Army stores
around Australia over the Christmas holidays.

The charity says the latest dumping means this year's clean-up bill for the Salvos
will exceed a record six million dollars.

NEVILLE BARRETT .. the general manager of the stores .. says it's absolutely disgusting
.. when that money could be so well used .. and the dumping has never been as bad as this
year.

He says the Salvos appreciate donations of good quality furniture .. clothing and other
items .. but people should only donate items they would continue to use themselves.
