WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

The Tip Shop at the O'Neill Road Waste Management Site opened for extended hours in July - Saturdays 12-4pm and Sundays 10am-4pm.

A big thank you to the Rotary Club of Mount Barker Western Australia Inc. volunteers who gave the Tip Shop a spruce up and who will be running the Tip Shop as part of a partnership with the Shire of Plantagenet.

Plenty of preloved items can be salvaged and resold though the Tip Shop.

The Tip Shop accepts furniture, household items, sporting equipment, art, tools, garden and outdoor products, books, electrical appliances and much more!

Please note, acceptance of items is at staff discretion and is dependent on quality of items as well as supply and demand. The Shire does not guarantee we will be able to take your items. If we are unable to accept your pre-loved items, we suggest you try giving to an op-shop, friends or through online options such as Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. 

We encourage you to take a little extra time to sort your load before heading to the tip. Drop your preloved items to the Tip Shop instead of the general waste shed to give them a second lease on life instead of going to landfill. Win win!

Please note the Tip Shop accepts electronic payments only - no cash. Funds will filter back to the local community. We hope the community supports this venture.
