5 years agoReally helpful and friendly team. I did some research on bokashi bins and these guys have the cheapest options plus the staff are really knowledgable and helpful giving advice. The free special recycling is awesome too! So easy to use. They also sell upcycled electronics for super reasonable prices.

5 years agoFantastic place - from refilling household products to minimise single use plastic (and the product is more concentrated so you use less) to attending workshops on improving composting. Staff are extremely helpful. The environment centre is the way to take personal steps or learn how to, to improve the health of our environment.

5 years agoWhilst the idea is good, they were going to charge me $76 (later offered to charge $56) for 2 working printers, 1 each working monitor & PC (making all saleable). Doing the 'right thing' needs a reality check when the cost is more than a days take-home pay for many people, moreso when it only cost $12 to take it to the transfer station. Just to add to the disappointment, after tallying charges from their website, I get $46 total.

3 years agoExcellent and very helpful as per usual. It's so great they take most items for recycling now. I only have one kitchen tidy bag a week in the rubbish now for a fily of 3/4
