Since kicking off our soft launch in May 2024, our Reconstruct programme in collaboration with Nelson City Council is off to a fantastic start!

We are excited about this programme for so many reasons – not only is it a great option for builders and tradies to recycle construction materials that can be reused & repurposed, it also means that our stock of secondhand DIY and construction materials is expanding.

So if you’re in the market from some great materials for your next project, be sure to come down to our ReUse Shops and check out what’s on offer.
