The end of the financial year is fast approaching, and it’s the perfect time to turn your values into action. Reverse Garbage is a not-for-profit charity on a mighty mission; delivering accessible sustainability education, rescuing valuable materials from landfill and building a creative, climate-conscious community in Sydney.
Running Reverse Garbage costs more than you might think and every dollar goes straight back into our operating costs and education programs. From picking up donations across Sydney, to sorting and storing thousands of rescued materials, operating our warehouse and storefront, and delivering hands-on education programs – it’s a big job and like everyone else, we face rising rent, energy bills, and operational costs. Unlike most environmental services, we don’t receive government funding.
Join us in delivering real climate solutions, creating inclusive, community-powered opportunities right here in Sydney, and championing reuse. All donations to Reverse Garbage over $2 are tax deductible. Donate today www.reversegarbage.org.au/donate-now-2/
