As per other reviews, this place is what it says it is. SuperTrash. On trash on trash on crap on unstable piles of random things. Super arbitrarily priced, depending on the mood of the billy-goat-gruff owner. My friends and I refer to this place as ‘No Eftpos’ as that is actually bigger than the ‘SuperTrash’. Again, as others have said, be prepared to risk life and limb but you may find something wondrous. Or nothing but tumbleweed sized dust bunnies. Roll the dice and have a visit. And duh, bring cash. Maybe hand sanitizer too.

This is a small secondhand shop, packed(and I mean packed) with any kind of junk you can imagine. All kinds of electronic equipment, kitchen stuff, megaphones, ladders, blankets, old lightbulbs… the list goes on. Be prepared to pick your way over chairs and sodden blankets, and duck under hanging items to fully explore the shop. The guy working there is a little odd, but quite friendly. I bought a vintage sewing machine there after he let me test it out with an extension lead. As the sign says, there is no eftpos, so be aware.

The«no eft-pos» tells you everything you need to know about Super Trash: that it’s owned and operated by someone who has a heathy disregard for modern technologies, and who knows that the banks are no good, and whose word is as good as his bond. This a shop perfect for poking about in: it’s unlikely to have anything you need right now, but pretty likely to have something that you want and need to own right now, mostly because it’s unlikely you’ll ever find another one of whatever it is ever again. Except for that Kamahl record, you can get that in every op shop in the country. It also only seems to be open whenever the owner feels like it, which adds a thrilling air of uncertainty to trying to shop here.

If you are in the mood for poking around a whole lot of boxes and shelves packed precariously with items in no obvious order, then Super Trash is the place for you. There is a lot of stuff here. It’s like what the warehouse would be like if they sourced their stock entirely from roadsides and estate sales. Don’t come here planning on finding a particular item — they might not have it, but they will have an early 60’s neon potato peeler. Oh, and don’t forget to get cash out before stopping in — they don’t have eftpos.

What more can you say about Super Trash, other than the following things: 1. It’s called Super Trash. 2. It looks like a kind of derelict world war two bunker. 3. It has the words«no eftpos» painted about the door in the kind of demented scrawl of a possessed child. It’s the perfect place to go if you love masochistically trawling through dirty, dusty, rickety piles of other people’s discarded crap. I am down with the cause. I once bought a ladder from Super Trash for a show I was doing. It was wooden and shitty and great. I was able to climb up and down that ladder every day for about three weeks and it didn’t break. It was a friggen miracle. I love that ladder. It only cost twenty bucks.
