Location

What sort of items can be donated and purchased from the SJ Reuse Shop?

The Reuse shop can give your unwanted items a second life and save them from landfill. If it is still fair to good quality, your trash could be someone else’s treasure.

All items will be sold "as is" and may not be fit for their original purpose.

Shop n Swap for kids

There will be a children’s library section where books and DVD's (early learning to primary school age) can be swapped like for like. 

Plus, babies grow so quickly and go through a lot of clothes and accessories, so while we would prefer that usual clothing donations go to the charity bins on-site at the Waste Transfer Station, the “Shop n Swap” section will include kids clothing and accessories.

You can bring in a similar clothing donation and swap it for free items from the Shop n Swap section.
