Waiheke Recovery Shop is the second-hand shop run by Island Waste Collective, a waste minimisation project on Waiheke Island, at 6 Tahi Road in Ostend. Items are recovered from the waste stream and sold at low prices through the yard and the shop, which is part of the collective's aim of keeping waste off Waiheke's landfill. The collective processes separated recycling and deconstructs appliances to recover materials. The website says it has been working on waste reduction on the island for more than twenty years, under its former name Clean Stream Waiheke, and that its goal is zero waste.
The shop is a way for islanders to buy affordable goods while keeping them out of landfill. The collective runs a monthly moth plant competition with prize cards, which the website says runs until October. Moth plants can be dropped off for free at the Waiheke Community Resource Recovery Park on Ostend Road, which is a separate site from the shop.
