Bowerhouse Community Reuse Shop

The Bowerhouse Community Reuse Shop sells quality used, recycled and second hand products that have been salvaged before going to landfill.

Residents are encouraged to drop off unwanted but reusable items at the Reuse Shop but please note all items will be viewed by the Waste Attendants before being accepted to ensure they are in an acceptable condition for sale.

Bellingen Shire Council in partnership with MIDWASTE host a range of repair workshops throughout the year. Watch this space for upcoming events.
