More Than Just a Shop
Located at the ReDiscover Hub at Pines Resource Recovery Park, this place is all about rethinking waste. Schools and community groups visit to learn about reducing, reusing, and recycling, but the real fun starts in the ReUse Shop. It’s where great quality second-hand stuff finds a new home—instead of heading straight to landfill.
A Rugby Field’s Worth of Bargains
Yep, you read that right. The ReUse Shop has saved an entire rugby field’s worth of reusable goods from being tossed. That means furniture, whiteware, books, homeware, clothing, sports gear, tools, and toys—all up for grabs at budget-friendly prices.
And the best part? Every dollar spent goes back into keeping this place running and supporting waste recovery projects in Selwyn. So, you’re not just scoring a deal—you’re doing a good deed.
