Second Hand Sunday: a fun way to get rid of unwanted household items
12/06/2018 12:00pm
The people of the Nelson Tasman region are invited on a fun scavenger hunt, as Second Hand Sunday returns on 17 June.
Not only is it an opportunity to declutter and freshen up your home for winter by getting rid of things you don't want, but Second Hand Sunday provides treasure-hunters with a great chance to pick up free pre-loved goods.
It's an excellent way of minimising waste in our city and giving used items a new home.
If you have items you want to give away, simply register online, print off a poster (or pick one up from Council's service centres) and put it on your mailbox on the day. Second Hand Sunday starts at 10am, so put your unwanted goods on your driveway (not on the footpath) with the poster on display. Please do not put out food or dangerous goods, like faulty electrical equipment, chemicals, or firearms.
The list of participants will be available for download from 12pm on Friday 15 June, so pick up a list and head out for a treasure hunt. The event will take place rain or shine, but please respect the 10am start time. Home owners are responsible for taking back in anything that doesn't go on the day. The Nelson Environment Centre has some great information on how to recycle leftover items.
