RECYCLIT BOWERBIRD SHOP

The Bowerbird Shop is the public retail outlet of Recyclit. People do not just dispose of waste, but also of items no longer required in their lives which are in perfectly good condition, and of use to someone else who may need them. These items are either donated to the shop, or retrieved for resale at very low prices from deposited waste.

The Bowerbird Shop is located at the Gunnedah Waste Management Facility within Recyclit Shed, based on Quia Road, Gunnedah. Any enquiries for the Bowerbird shop please call (02) 6742 1522.
