Markets
Grey Lynn has two active markets, the Grey Lynn Car Boot Market and Grey Lynn Farmers Market.
In 2024 we started the ReUse Market In Auckland's City Centre.
Grey Lynn 2030 is committed to reusing items and the ReUse and Car Boot Markets encourage residents to do the same.
Every week, Lynn Green from Grey Lynn Waste Away has a presence at the Grey Lynn Farmers Market. Also Waitemata Low Carbon Network attends with Live Lightly stall. Gently encouraging people to do just that - Live Lightly.
