Stop! Don’t take it to the tip – Why not take it to Ā Mua instead?

Ā Mua Community Resource Centre accepts a wide range of reusable items and materials (see below) that might otherwise end up in landfill. These items are then on-sold in our Re Use It! Shop in Featherston with profits being returned to the community through Featherston’s Own Charitable Trust.  Every year tens of thousands of tonnes of still-usable items end up in the waste stream and are consigned to landfill at great financial as well as environmental cost. Donating items to Ā Mua gives them a second chance.
