The Wanaka Community Workshop greatfully receives a a wide range of donations – building materials, equipment, textiles and tools. We make use of such donations in the creation of products for a host of community groups and schools across the Upper Clutha.
That said the Workshop does generate waste, material we cannot use because it is damaged or unsafe. Some of this waste is metal, in particular steel.
We put our scrap metal aside and a couple of times a year a member of the MenShed team adds it to trailer load which is hauled down to a scrap metal dealer in Dunedin. Here our metal waste begins its own journey to be recycled.
