Reuse Tree

About Reverse Garbage

Reverse Garbage is an internationally-recognised not-for-profit creative reuse centre in Sydney’s inner west. We redirect commercial and industrial waste from landfill to a new life with educators, artists, upcyclers, DIY enthusiasts, tinkerers, set builders, window dressers, community organisations, festivals, charities, and so many others.

Started by a group of teachers and community workers in 1975, education is still a major focus to this day.

We reach around 16,000 people each year with our ‘choose to reuse’ messaging via early learning, primary, secondary and tertiary education, community events and public workshops.

We acknowledge that we are on the land of the Wangal and Gadigal people. Here in Bulanaming (Marrickville), where the Gumbramorra swamp meets the Goolay'yari (Cook’s River). We pay our respect to Elders, past and present. We acknowledge the continuous living culture of the first nations people of the area—their diverse languages, customs and traditions, knowledge and systems for protecting the land, sea and rivers.
