He is a quietly spoken fellow from South America and today is a very special day for him as he has decided it’s time for retirement! For the past two years, Jardiel found a home here at Substation33 with the container sorting crew, and found the workplace to be very accepting and supportive through his time working here. We wish Jardiel a heartfelt thanks for all his work and hope that he still comes back to visit on a Friday for our BBQ!

It’s that time of year again! School starts soon and Substation33 has some great deals on affordable refurbished laptops ideal for school use. The best deal we have going at the moment are refurbished 10th generation Microsoft Surface 1943 laptops for $250. We have a lot of units but this one is going to be popular so make sure you get in quick. We also have many other laptops, all of which are minimum 8th generation systems. Prices are between $150-$190 for a basic system. W

Wow what a year it has been! We had a big move this year, and after 6 months in our new location, it’s feeling like home. Somehow it is Christmas again already and thanks to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, partners, staff and donors, we have had another great year. We will be closing up over Christmas for a well-earned rest from midday,Wednesday 24 th  December and will reopen Monday 5 th  January to welcome in 2026! We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas
