Did you know that through BVO’s collective efforts, along with the support of our valued partners, we diverted over 593,000 pounds of materials and textiles from our local landfill in 2025?

BVO Treasure Shop offers a wide selection of quality, gently used items at affordable prices, including women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, accessories, purses, jewelry, linens, luggage, sporting goods, toys, books, DVDs, CDs, games, puzzles, electronics, and housewares.

As the population of the Blue Mountains continues to grow, BVO remains committed to reducing waste through reuse and recycling–while generating essential funds to support vital community programs and services. BVO is truly a recycling champion. In fact, over our 40 years of service, our efforts have been recognized by the Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce with the Sustainable Innovation Award.

BVO is proud to have 195 active volunteers, with approximately 100 dedicated individuals working in the Treasure Shop. These volunteers play a crucial role in sorting and pricing the large volume of donations generously provided by our community through our outdoor donation bins. 

Most donated items are sold in the Treasure Shop or used within BVO programs. Others are shared with charities, organizations, and families in need–both locally and beyond. Items that cannot be sold are still kept out of landfills whenever possible. Unsellable clothing is sent for textile recycling through “send-on bags” to Talize, with BVO receiving reimbursement per pound. Additional items are also diverted to Habitat for Humanity where appropriate.
