After dropping in on my not-quite-relatives just out of Wellington, we headed north up to Porirua to visit Trash Palace.
Trash Palace is quite the fanciest municipal dump that I have ever seen - and I've seen about four. The Palace endeavours to recycle as much waste as possible and sells re-useable items to the community at a very reasonable rate. We bought a basket (for all the pine cones that I keep collecting from around the paddock), a large old woven mat (to cover the compost heap), some Crown Lynn pottery and half a dozen books - all for about $30!
I was also really quite inspired by the junk sculpture surrounding the shop. Will be hoarding my recycling from now on...
