$1 Market- Halloween weekend, Ranui!
fb.me...
After the success of our first Recycle Market at Edmonton Primary School, SUSTINNOWORX is holding another at Ranui Action Project, Saturday 29 October!
Help us to rehome good condition clothing in time for summer as we relocate our Henderson store! CLOTHING $1 | WOMENS, MENS, KIDS | $1 FABRIC
This event is kindly hosted by Ranui Action Project and supported by Rotalite Club of West Auckland.
This donated, good condition clothing would often be sent to landfill as it is not good enough to be sold in store. We pride ourselves in never dumping any of our excess stock, and upcycling poor condition donations in our workshop.
What are you supporting by coming to Recycle Market? Sustinnoworx is a social enterprise which exists as a training site for vulnerable women involved in the charitable organisation, Shakti. Shakti supports immigrant women effected by domestic violence, to safely reintegrate into society using housing, training and counselling. Shakti clients come to Sustinnoworx as part of their training, to learn retail, sustainability and upcycling skills. Through developing confidence, employability skills, English skills, and sustainability ideals, these women can integrate effectively and happily back into the community. Profits from preloved clothing, eco products and upcycled goods sold in the Sustinnoworx store go directly to supporting the housing and reintegration of these women. Sustinnoworx is currently based at 7/104 Central Park drive- follow us to be first to know when we relocate!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
