Give commercial furniture a second life
Donate your used office and hotel furniture to charity via GIVIT
Every year Australia generates 30,000 tonnes of commercial furniture waste, with 95% going straight to landfill¹.
Meanwhile, more Australians than ever are reaching out to charities and community organisations for support, and research shows that most charities can't meet the demand for their services².
GIVIT and Project Net Zero have partnered to develop a resource recovery program that allows companies, hotels, property developers, universities, asset managers and office managers to sustainably rehome furniture, whitegoods and electronics to help individuals and communities in need.
What is the resource recovery program?
GIVIT has partnered with Indigenous-owned and operated business Project Net Zero who provide de-fit services to businesses for both loose furniture and fixed assets, along with make good services.
Once Project Net Zero acquires the goods through their de-fit and asset recovery service, they work with GIVIT to rehome the items to Aussies experiencing hardship through 4,500+ charities nationwide. This sustainable, socially responsible solution reduces landfill and contributes to the circular economy by giving these items a second life.
Who are these services for?
The services provided are relevant to companies, hotels, property developers, universities, schools, asset managers and office managers. Services include:
- Office, retail, and hotel de-fits,
- Office relocation and storage solutions, and
- Recycling and donation services.
Leave your details and our team will be in touch with more information.
Why use GIVIT & Project Net Zero?
- Reduce costs: instead of paying expensive landfill, labour and transport fees, those funds can be channelled to a resource recovery program with genuine impact.
- Save time and resources: rather than dealing with multiple charities, you will be working with a single point of contact from beginning to end.
- Enhance ESG credentials: at the conclusion of the project, you will receive an acquittal detailing where your items were distributed, with shareable impact stories.
- Sustainable solution: 100% of items are diverted from landfill as they are either donated to someone in need or recycled.
- Social impact: with the need for goods and services through GIVIT doubling since the pandemic, more than 4,500 charities will have access to items to support thousands of people in need.
- Trust and transparency: GIVIT has a robust governance process for charities and community groups to access free goods and services via GIVIT.
How does it work?
Once you engage Project Net Zero and GIVIT, here's an overview of how the service is delivered.
I work for a charity. What does it mean for me?
Good news! GIVIT and Project Net Zero's resource recovery program means charities and organisations registered with GIVIT will be able to access high quality office, hotel or retail furniture through GIVIT.
The items will be available through GIVIT's online warehouse, and organisations can arrange delivery or collection of goods at no cost. These items don't have to be provided to a person or family you're supporting. They can also be used for your charity's office or premises.
GIVIT is free, private and easy for charities, community organisations and schools to use, and can help provide critical, practical and immediate support to people in need.

About GIVIT and Project Net Zero
GIVIT is a national non-profit working with over 4,500 charities across Australia to ensure people and communities get the essential items and services they need, when they need them. Whether that's recovering from a disaster event, or experiencing hardship due to circumstances such as domestic and family violence, homelessness, disability, mental ill-health and more.
By managing offers of goods, volunteering and services via our free online platform, GIVIT helps our charity partners reduce the significant administrative and financial costs associated with managing donations, enabling these organisations to focus on delivering their core services.
Project Net Zero (PNZ) is a 100% Indigenous-owned and operated social enterprise, offering comprehensive national de-fit services to corporations, businesses and companies. PNZ is reshaping Australia's approach to the challenge of discarded office, hotel and reatail furniture and equipment by distributing items through an extensive network of charities and community organisations.
More information about the program
The duration of the de-fit process varies depending on the scope and scale of the project. The Project Net Zero team will work closely with you to determine a timeline that meets your needs and minimises disruption to your operations.
You have the flexibility to offer a diverse array of items for removal and donation, such as office furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other usable assets. The Project Net Zero team is highly adaptable and capable of collecting a wide variety of items.
Upon completion of the program, you will benefit from having access to high-quality sustainability reporting that provides a full chain of custody of the items. The report details the social impact your donation has made, showcasing how your contribution has positively affected communities in need. Additionally, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you've contributed to sustainability efforts and supported the circular economy by repurposing assets that would otherwise go to waste.
