The Paramount Plaza bins cleared by Savemart, a national chain of recycled clothes outlets with a branch at Kamo, are regularly surrounded by bags of junk.
One person's rubbish can be another person's treasure.
But there seem to be few jewels sparkling among the items left outside clothing bins at Tikipunga.
In the past few weeks, several clothing bins around Whangarei have appeared to be full, with items left outside the bins by well-meaning donors. Items
including golf clubs, blankets and seats have been spotted in Percy St, Mill Rd and Tikipunga.
However, in Tikipunga, it seems that the items left near two bins at Paramount Plaza have little to do with charity and more to do with opportunity.
An opportunity to dump rubbish unnoticed.
