Ohakune Recycling Centre and Secondhand Store / Ethical Waste

Very popular place to pick up something useful. Lots of variety in clothing and stuff around the house.

Very well run and helpful staff refuge dumping is not overly expensive neat and tidy recycling well done

I can’t even explain how much I love this place! There is something for everyone which is just fabulous.

From clothing, to books and entertainment, to bikes and homeware and

Not to mention, the team that work here are beyond friendly and are always keen for a yarn which is so lovely especially since I’m not an Ohakune local.

I’m a massive advocate for shopping secondhand and responsibly and I was stoked to find many gems here! Can’t wait to return:)

Was recommended this shop by my hairdresser in the far north. Traveling from kaitaia to levin decided to stay night in ohakune so could go. Imagine my dismay when I found out it closed on a Thursday, the very day I was there. Need to update website to show it closed on Thursday. So I haven't had the excitement of shopping there.

Incredibly rude lady there, getting irritated at us being from out of town and not knowing the local rules. Accused us for not being able to read the signs when we asked politely which bin to place things in.

Fantastic place for all your rubbish and recycling needs, so reasonable, geat friendly staff. I love checking out all the second hand stuff too, you can find some geat bargains

The 5 stars are for us finding TrueEarth laundry powder strips here. Totally plastic free product which is much more light weight and saves massive in transportation/shipping cost = has a tiny carbon footprint only and washes very nicely. And at a very reasonable price. Thanks lots to the staff member who's initiative made the put Hase of a package there possible for us. +

As good as a transfer station could possibly be. Trying to salvage anything that is reusable rather than sending it to the landfill.

Your usual Dump Shop. A bit messy, but loosely organized so that you could see. It was nice to see people coming in, taking away armfuls of stuff.

Very efficient and well run. Great to see so many items being diverted from landfill and reused.
