At Reverse Garbage you’ll find the materials, skills and inspiration you need to live more creatively, more sustainably and more meaningfully. Make reuse your first choice and you won’t just be ‘making do’, you’ll be making a difference.
Reverse Garbage is a creative reuse centre making a difference in the world by reducing waste and creating change in the way we look at resources. We inspire and support kids, adults, artists and teachers to consume less, make more, save money – and feel good doing it!
We see the creative potential in leftover and castaway materials and save them from going into landfill.
We make a treasure trove of rare and wonderful materials available to you at our warehouse and online.
We run workshops for kids, adults and community groups so everyone can learn how to consume less and make more!
When you partner with us, the materials you no longer need will end up in the hands of people who can use them, instead of in landfill. Reduce your waste disposal costs and your carbon footprint by donating your discards and leftovers to Reverse Garbage, avoiding the energy consumption and waste generation associated with recycling.
You can do it! You can knock up those shelves, alter that skirt or make that toy basket! Come to us for fabulously original materials and a bit of how-to knowledge.
Play with our crazy craft supplies, check out our online projects or come along to one of our community events. We also collaborate with educators to run reuse workshops.
Be part of the growing community of artists, sculptors, set designers and costume makers who rely on Reverse Garbage to help bring big creative ideas to life. Check out our shop or let us know what you’re looking for.
Book Reverse Garbage to appear at your event. We can set up a drop-in workshop space at your nominated site and run half-day or full-day craft activities for families and kids. Get in touch with us to discuss your plans.
