Welcome to Funky Junk, a place where one person's rubbish is another one's treasure. We are open to all sorts of funky junk from bottle tops to lace and curtains. The depot provides a chance for artists, individuals, schools, community centres or organisations to give and take and get crafty.
The depot - at the Historic Village on 17th Avenue - is a joint effort between the Tauranga Environment Centre Charitable Trust (administration) Turning Point Trust (day-to-day management), and Tauranga City Council (provide the building).
