For more than a decade, The Green Shed has been a beloved Canberra institution. It's been home to everything from every shop in the world to items which you'd never find in any shop, ever.

The Green Shed will close today, marking the end of an era for its owners Sandie Parkes and Charlie Bigg-Wither.

After more than 35 years, the duo say they will miss the people and the extraordinary finds along the way.

Vinnies will take over the contract for the waste management business from tomorrow.
