We encourage all aspects of waste reduction, but focus in particular on the fun, creative and safe re-use of commercial and industrial discards. We aim to provide the community with affordable resources and to encourage their creative use thereby emphasising the benefits of re-use in the context of waste minimisation and resource depletion.

Our warehouse at Marrickville is brimming with a huge variety of re-usable materials including: wood, paper, cardboard, dacron, perspex, polystyrene, rubber, various fabrics, tubes, theatre flats, props and much much more.

Craft standards like PVA glue, air drying clay and pop sticks are also available as well as creative toy-making kits made from reclaimed materials. You could walk out with anything from a hat to a dinosaur.

We also run creative hands on workshops promoting inventive ideas for using recycled factory off cuts and over runs. Workshops are designed to meet craft and education needs for pre-school to year 12 students, teachers, adult education classes, community festivals, community and business planning and more!

We have recently introduced a consultancy service to Reverse Garbage. Through this service we provide advice and project management services for a wide variety of waste minimisation services. Consultancy services we have provided include: advice for the development of future re-use centres, publications to assist re-use, clean-ups and other waste minimisation strategies, and the over-seeing of alternative clean-up strategies for local government.
