In partnership with Grey Lynn 2030 Waste Away, and as part of Conservation Week 2014 (1-9 November), Auckland Zoo is holding a Reuse to Reduce Market.
This year's Conservation Week theme is 'discover the world where you live' and the market's aim is to get people thinking and looking at ways to help keep the world on our doorstep beautiful.
According to Zero Waste New Zealand, surveys show that 30 to 50 percent of inorganic material is reusable or recyclable.
Auckland Zoo is asking for donations of household goods in good condition to sell, such as furniture, kitchenware, bric-a-brac, crockery, books and fabric/textiles/blankets in good condition.
Money raised during the market will go to Auckland Zoo conservation and Grey Lynn 2030's Waste Away Project.
