A community enterprise on Ballantyne Road in Wānaka that runs a reuse shop and yard, and works towards zero waste. The reuse shop sells clothing and household items, and the website describes it as colourful and vibrant, a place where second-hand shopping is an adventure. Beyond the shop, the organisation runs a recycling team that collects from local businesses and events and hand sorts the material at its site. A reduce team offers zero-waste consultancy, audits and advice for organisations and individuals. There is a repair directory that helps people find a local repairer, and the group runs workshops and events on repair, composting and slow fashion.
The website says the enterprise has kept thousands of tonnes out of landfill over 25 years, and that its site is now full. It has announced a plan for a bigger hub, called Wastebusters 2.0, and asks for community support to build it. The newsletter offers early event access and a monthly $30 voucher.
