Charity Op Shops provide a real benefit to the community. Donating items keeps them out of landfills, the money raised supports local causes, and volunteers get the chance to connect, learn new skills, and enjoy themselves.

Brought to you by Volunteering Canterbury and Volunteering Mid-South Canterbury, with many thanks to Dr Donald Matheson, University of Canterbury, and Connor Venmore, Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury, for their considerable efforts in turning this idea into a reality.
If your goods are broken, dirty, missing parts, not working, or not suitable for donation to your local charity shop, you can take them to your nearest transfer station or resource recovery park. Please note that if donated goods are not in a saleable condition, the charity will incur costs to dispose of them.
We have compiled a list of Transfer Stations and Resource Recovery Parks in Christchurch and Upper Canterbury for this purpose.
