About

The Get Sorted Shop is the reuse shop at the Waitaki Resource Recovery Park on Chelmer Street, north of the town centre. The park describes it as a “treasure trove of pre-loved items”, from vintage clothing to kitchenware, small appliances, books and toys, with stock that changes constantly as drop-offs arrive.

It is open every day of the week (closed public holidays), which makes it the weekend option for cheap books in Ōamaru alongside Slightly Foxed.

Price tip: Tip-shop pricing — the cheapest used books in Ōamaru.

What you’ll find

Unsorted donated paperbacks, non-fiction and children’s books at tip-shop prices.
