Op shop surplus rescue: a personal trial

The problem. Surplus goods pile up in storerooms. Who it helps. One person or family at a time, from among op shops, small manufacturers and community groups with surplus to share. What you start with. Surplus items an op shop cannot sell. What is delivered. Items are sorted and passed to makers who redesign them. You work at your own pace and begin with a free Initial Assessment. How progress is known. Items passed on are counted. Main purpose. The main purpose is access to a useful product or service, or less waste going to landfill, for the community. Honest limits. Items must be clean and safe. Items are described accurately, in line with Australian consumer law, and custom made or refurbished items are disclosed. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record. This is a new idea built on work Deals Colony has already documented. It has not been run yet.
