Reverse Garbage

Reverse Garbage is a transformative creative reuse centre that is actively making a positive impact on our world by effectively reducing waste and revolutionizing our perspective on resources. Our mission is to empower and motivate individuals of all ages, including children, adults, artists, and teachers, to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle by consuming less, producing more, saving money, and ultimately experiencing a profound sense of fulfillment in the process!

Reverse Garbage was started by educators and we’ve been educating the community for over forty five years! We truly are the experts in sustainability education and reuse. Our passionate educators are all qualified and highly experienced and will work with your students to ignite their curiosity, their creativity, develop problem solving. We aim to support your good work, providing you with the skills, materials and opportunities you might need to get your students playing, thinking and making more creatively and more sustainably. 

Our workshops show Kindergarten through to Year 6 students how to give waste materials a new life through creative reuse. Our workshops are tape-and-glue free, using low-waste construction techniques like lacing and threading. We can come to you or you can visit us at our education room at Marrickville. Customised workshops are also available to suit your particular theme or unit. Reverse Garbage workshops take students through a design process, aligned with NSW Syllabus outcomes, to facilitate creative thinking and collaboration.
