Hey Pyrmont People was inspired with the many activities held throughout National Recycling Week and it started me thinking about where one can shop for second hand and recycled goods in and around Pyrmont Village. The great news is that there are many options available for those of you seeking to be a little more sustainable.

Here is a list of places that offer re-used, used, recycled and vintage products, from clothing to furniture, books and more! It is by no means exhaustive so if you know of any other undiscovered treasures, let us know.
