Reuse market

The reuse market of Góði hirðirinn (thrift market) is a market for used construction materials and a range of goods that can be used for construction and artwork. The market is located at the recycling centre at Sævarhöfði. The object of the market is to reuse materials before recycling them. The reuse of materials is an important measure to utilise our resources in the best manner possible.

An employee will assess, together with the customer, whether the material or goods they intend to offload at the recycling centre at Sævarhöfði is sellable and belongs in the market.

The market offers materials such as timber, wood items, doors, windows, fittings, paving, tiles, logs, sinks, parquet, tyres, bicycles, pallets and containers, just to mention a few. The goal is to ensure that the market offers options for a broad range of customers.

Any profits that may result from the sale of such materials will be allocated to charities, in much the same way as the profits of the sale of furnishings at Góði hirðirinn in Fellsmúli.

The market's Facebook page contains more information on what is available (only in icelandic).
