Trash Palace was established by the Porirua City Council in 2002, to accept generous donations from the public and sell or recycle them rather than have them go to a landfill.   Still run today in conjunction with the Council, our retail shop at 20 Broken Hill Road, Porirua is now complemented by our online TradeMe store – all providing the public with great value second-hand goods at great prices while also doing our bit for the environment.   Our retail shop is open Monday-Saturday 8:30am – 5:00pm and Sunday 9:00am – 5:00pm. It is only ever closed on Christmas Day, Good Friday, and until 1pm on ANZAC day.   Our TradeMe store is of course open 24/7

  Our Brand Story In a world where little ones imagine - we too imagined. We imagined a world. A world where our little treasures explored, played and learnt through products that were made with forever in mind. Treasures that once gifted, continued to give for generations to come. Becoming a part of ones family. A part of the everyday play, exploration and learning. Filled with ethical, sustainable, educational goodness. Filling our minds, hearts and souls. At Evermore, we imagined a beautiful, better way. So we sourced the products, the goods, the treasures for all to enjoy. Enriched with values that deserve to be handed on. Forever. Evermore.
