Resource Recovery Resale Shops
Resale shops allow residents to donate their unwanted household goods, tools, toys and lots more for resale at bargain prices. This means that good quality materials are kept out of landfill and in the hands of those who need them.
If you have items to donate, check with your local op shop first to see if they are currently accepting donations. Find out more about donating to op shops.
