00:00These are the remnants from gasket manufacturers.
00:06It's a rescue home for rejects, offcuts and leftovers.
00:11It's waste to them but it's not waste to us.
00:13Everything here was destined to end up in landfill.
00:17We'll get a phone call saying, I'm standing here in the loading dock
00:20and this is all going to the bin and I can see
00:22that it just shouldn't be going to landfill.
00:25Salvaged from the trash, these unwanted items
00:28are given a second chance at finding a useful purpose.
00:32See you later, you're welcome.
00:33It's just about really using your imagination,
00:35seeing the potential in whatever we have.
00:38There are hooks and hinges, stoppers and spools,
00:41Mexican hats and coffee sacks, even some old fire hose.
00:46I think we invented the fear of missing out
00:48because we do have people that are here so regularly
00:50because you just never know what you're going to find.
00:54Five tonnes of diverted waste is snapped up every month.
00:58We have teachers, students, builders, crafters, artists, makers, hoarders,
01:05the list goes on.
01:07This is actually made from bicycle inner tube.
01:10Jewellery maker Alison Breen is a regular customer.
01:13I don't really come here looking for something specific.
01:16I find something and just kind of, I don't know, it just sort of speaks to me.
01:21Others come with something particular in mind.
01:24My daughter wants to go to book week as Hagrid from the Harry Potter series.
01:29I'm moving house so I've come to look for some carpet squares
01:31to put down under furniture.
01:33I just found these little stick on earrings. Do you remember these?
01:36It's shopping as an antidote to consumerism.
01:40We need to value things more, we need to maintain them more,
01:45look after them, pass them on, share them, repair them.
01:50A philosophy ahead of its time in an increasingly disposable society.
01:55we want to calm down.
