Donations needed!
We are very excited to announce that we are opening a new Red Cross Shop at 83A Tristram Street in Hamilton CBD and we’ll be there for you 7 days a week.
We are looking for donations of pre-loved, good quality, summer clothing, homewares and furniture that you are willing to recycle for good.
So, why not give your surplus quality items a new lease of life with Red Cross? Call us on (07) 846 0492 or send an email to shop.hamiltonCBD@redcross.org.nz to arrange a pick-up, or drop-off time and we’ll find someone to re-love them for you.
Many thanks for your help😊
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
