Living up to my thrifting nature, I continue my quest to share all my favourite second hand and salvage destinations. This brings me to share one of my local spots to rummage called Windmill Hill.
Windmill Hill is located between Hahndorf and Mount Barker just off Mount Barker Road. It is a transfer, salvage and recycle station. There is a section for rubbish and recyclables, and then there is a salvage store. So, on your way to the dump you can sort through what you think may be able to be reused and save it!
I love the idea in having a salvage store next to a waste station. It really makes you think twice about what you are throwing into landfill. The guys that run this store are really creative too and have been restoring old BBQ's into potting stations to sell.
Windmill hill store a great selection of wood, tools, records, electrical gear, etc.. There are a heap of items that have been pulled from houses being refurbished. I have seen some cool old sinks and doors here. There is also a great collection of ceramics, glass bottles and items to use for gardening. I have just bought a house and I will be back for wood, fencing and tools.
If you need building materials for your house or want some cool vintage ceramic displays, check out this place. read more
