5 Hosking Pl @ Waiuku Zero Waste
Our usual repair offering will be on to help fix your household items. The aim is to keep your much loved things out of landfill by offering repair skills to the community for free (koha appreciated).
Bring along 1-2 items that need some TLC which can include clothing or other textiles, small electrical items, wooden furniture, toys, clocks, or anything else that needs a small fix.
Enjoy a cuppa and baking while you wait, then join your volunteer to discover how to repair your item. We'll have something for your tamariki to keep them entertained.

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?
How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
