Aotearoa New Zealand's oldest environment centre, a not-for-profit at 6 Vivian Place in Annesbrook, Nelson. The website says it has served the Nelson Tasman community since 1976, working on waste reduction, recycling and reuse, and it runs the ReUse Shops as part of that work. Its programmes include environmental education and advice to help people take practical action. The organisation has about 20 employees and 70 volunteers. Because the shop is part of the centre's reuse work, buying second-hand here also keeps goods in use.
Reviewers mention bargains most often, and say there are good finds for anyone who explores the buildings. They also describe friendly, helpful staff, and one said the place has an inspiring atmosphere. E-waste and recycling come up too. One customer who shops there often with their daughters said a staff member takes time to entertain the children, even taking them around the store.
