Grampians Central West Waste and Resource Recovery Group has released Op Shop Adventures – a guide to help visitors and residents discover a bargain.
The guide features six in the Northern Grampians shire and Ararat municipality, seven op shops in the Horsham municipality, 13 in Yarriambiack shire, three in the Hindmarsh shire and two across the West Wimmera shire as well as op shops in and around Ballarat.
Grampians Central West Waste Resource Recovery Group chief executive La Vergne Lehmann said op shops helped divert useful materials from landfill.
“Op shops are a great way to make sure items can continue to be used after you have finished with them,” she said. “It is important to highlight there are other ways of dealing with those unwanted items beyond curbside recycling.”
The Grampians Central West op shop guide is available in visitor information centres and online.
