Creative! Thrifty! Responsible! Independent!

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!

SAVE

We see the creative potential in leftover and castaway materials and save them from going into landfill.

SHOP

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!

We can help your business deal responsibly with waste.

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.

Let’s work together

DIY

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.

KIDS

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.
