Our mission
Wellington City Council is committed to reducing, reusing and recycling waste. The Tip Shop and Recycle Centre is just one of the ways we divert waste from the landfill. Before you throw out that old toaster or that set of golf clubs gathering cobwebs in the garden shed, consider giving it a second life at the Tip Shop.

Dropping off items
The Tip Shop is a great way to make sure your items have a second life. The above list should give you an idea of what items we accept. Due to demand and availability this can change so feel free to get in touch before you drop something off. Please make sure textiles/clothes/furniture are clean, not ripped or torn, and in condition before dropping them off - otherwise we may not accept them.
