The Dunk Collective is a secondhand clothing operation working at volume across Australia. Established 2019, based in Alice Springs.
We take on raw donated stock, sort and grade it, and move it into resale. We process close to 100,000 garments a year — approximately 40 tonnes of textiles diverted from landfill annually.
How we work
We run an established regional supply network, with sourcing and processing handled across multiple sites. That structure lets us take on large, unsorted, mixed-quality consignments — the loads that are difficult to place elsewhere — and process them at speed without dropping our grading standards. The network is currently expanding.
Working with us
We're set up to take stock at volume. If you're a charitable organisation, a collector, or a business holding textiles you need moved, we handle sorting and grading at our end and can work to recurring collections rather than one-off pickups.
Where it goes
Graded stock is listed and sold nationally across our own channels. Everything is inspected and catalogued individually. Nothing is landfilled that can be worn.
