Creative Reuse Centre in Sydney.
30 Carrington Road, Marrickville NSW Started by teachers in 1975, education is still a major focus to this day.

Reverse Garbage is a not-for-profit creative reuse centre based in Marrickville, in Sydney’s inner west. As an environmental charity, our mission is to make everyone experts in reuse by motivating, educating, and providing simple sustainable solutions. Each year we redirect around 250 tonnes of 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 more. 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.

Last year, over 10,000 students joined us at Reverse Garbage to get hands-on with reuse, creativity and big ideas for a better planet.

Through our curriculum-linked workshops, young people learn to see ‘waste’ differently and build the skills and mindset to care for the world around them.

Only one place left! Join in this fun communal dyeing day. In this two-part workshop, you will learn some basics of shibori tying techniques and then get to dip your item into the beautiful blue indigo dye bath. It’s magic when you remove your piece from the bath and watch it change from green to blue as the indigo oxidises in the air – the next piece of magic occurs when you undo your shibori to reveal your individual patterning. book in here https://classbento.com.au/w/zmr6
