Tip Shops

Check out Richmond Valley Council’s Evans Head tip shop next time you want to pick up a “dirt” cheap bargain.

Tip Shops are a fantastic place to shop while supporting the recycling of second-hand and used goods which still have life left in them.

We are committed to resource recovery, reuse, and diverting as much as possible from landfills.

Tip shops offer a huge range of useful items, including tools, kitchenware, furniture, gardening implements – including wheelbarrows, lawnmowers, and bins – to books and pictures, homewares, toys, bikes and plenty of other recycled items simply too numerous to list.

Some come in today and grab a bargain from the Evans Head Tip Shop.
