Accepting and re-selling preloved goods is the aim of The Big Green Shed located at the Swan Hill Landfill. The Big Green Shed is operated as a partnership between Swan Hill Rural City Council, Ellwaste and the Central Murray Regional Waste Management Group.
The shed aims to encourage everyone to consider waste not as something we simply throw out, but as a resource that can have many uses we may not have normally considered. It is a fantastic place to drop off those unwanted items from around your home. And you never know what you might find if you're looking for secondhand building materials or that unique piece of furniture.
Located at the Swan Hill Landfill (Swan Hill-Sea Lake Road), The Big Green Shed has been operating since 2008 with the aim of diverting items originally destined for landfill to a facility where they can be resold for a bargain price. The Big Green Shed will accept a wide variety of materials in reasonable condition including:
• Timber, doors, window frames
• Tiles, pavers and bricks
• Furniture and household items
• Bric-a-brac
• Books, tapes and albums
• Bikes, trikes, scooters
The Big Green Shed is open Tuesdays and Fridays 9am-2pm and every third Saturday of the month. So make sure you visit The Big Green Shed next time you've got a load of unwanted items to drop off or if you're working on a DIY project. You'll be amazed at what you'll find!
