We've got 3 op shops in Pt Chevalier alone - The Homestead (cnr of Alberton and Point Chev Road) and the Hospice shop and St Vincents in the mall. Red Cross, The City Mission, SPCA, Salvation Army and St Johns all have op shops too. You could advertise on Neighbourly or Freecycle to give away. Putting items in good condition (not rubbish) out on the berm with a 'free' sign can work well too. Let's help each other out and give goods as long a life as we can. Think of all the resources that went into creating them and keep them out of landfill for as long as possible.
People often tell is they feel the difference when they visit our villages. Our Auckland showhomes series is a great opportunity to experience that feeling first hand.
You can tour our beautiful showhomes and learn more about the lifestyle our villages have to offer.
