Getting to grips with what’s in your rubbish bin is easier than you think! We work alongside our local communities, schools, waste experts, marae and organisations to provide events and workshops to help you reduce, reuse and recycle right.

SEWtember

Join us this SEWtember where we learn all things sewing repair, reuse and slow fashion.

There are a number events designed to help our community love the clothes they have, repair them, remake them and buy more clothes secondhand!

Upcoming events and workshops

  • The Whaaingaroa Repair Café is a free pop-up event where community members can bring in their broken and damaged belongings and local volunteer experts do their best to repair them.

    Repairing rather than buying new is a great way to take climate action in your own life – and learn new skills along the way!

    By extending the lifespan of these items, we reduce waste and prevent valuable resources from ending up in landfills. In general, replacement parts will not be provided by the repairers. Any use of materials or parts such batteries, zips etc. will be supplied or paid for by the visitor and brought to event.
