Are Op Shops too picky?

Janine Rankin Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Hi neighbours,
Most of us know some of the stuff people try to dump on op shops is, well, a bit rubbish.
However, have you ever noticed that goods you thought were still in reasonable condition have been rejected?
Let us know, especially if you are happy to talk to a reporter about it.
Thanks

When water stopped flowing from the taps in Ashhurst many residents were caught out with no emergency supplies at home.

A water main in the village burst on Monday night and it was Tuesday afternoon before the fault was found and fixed, the reservoir was refilled and tests confirmed the water was treated and safe to drink.

Palmerston North City Council deputy chief executive Ray Swadel said bottled and tanker water delivered to the village was in high demand.

The Ashhurst Library handed out more than 1300 one- and two-litre water bottles, and more than 70 people collected water from the tanker at Lincoln Park.'

"This unexpected loss of water is a timely reminder to be prepared in having emergency water supplies at their home or workplace, and to have secure and transportable containers to collect water from tankers." Read more here
