Power would be great as some stuff needs some … View moreHi is there anybody out there that happens to have a garage /space that they arnt using currently. I have a lot of old market stock and years of clutter, to good to dump, that I really need a dry secure space to sort and host a garage sale or two. Power would be great as some stuff needs some tlc but it isn’t a necessity. I am happy to pay a rental and sign a mutual agreement and a contribution if power is available although I can’t afford a lot as am on an invalids benefit otherwise I would rent a storage unit.

I had a lot more stuff than I do now but a lot has gotten wet and ruined and gone mouldy etc from inadequate storage and I have lost a lot financially having to dump the stuff.
I have tried marketing, trademe, yard sale , even a tent sale but none are very well suited to my needs

I would probably only need it for a month or so and would leave it in the same condition I found it or even better , open to offers ideas trades etc. ie. gardening for rental , sell on behalf etc

Consumers' "lazy attitudes" are to blame for most of the recycling in the city centre going straight into landfill.

The Christchurch City Council installed 18 rubbish/recycling "combos" and 22 standalone recycling units within the four avenues but glass, cans and plastic collected at more than half of those sites is routinely added to the trash because of organic waste contamination.
