One man’s trash…
… is truly another man’s treasure. At least at Reverse Garbage it is.
Sara, Ernie, Nuggy and I drove down to Marrickville this morning and spend a few hours walking around the dusty warehouse of the Reverse Garbage co-op. It literally is ‘garbage’ that is sold. Offcuts, potato sacks, lots of random bottles and toys and paper. Like factory left-overs or something.
Not as many things as a good 2-dollar shop in Eastwood, and the things are pretty crap. Although, you’ll find rolls and rolls of butchers paper, which is great for youth group and childrens’ ministry. That was the main point of the visit. Also got a few random bits and pieces, two hessian bags (they sell quite a few things ‘by the bag’ which means you pay by volume!), and a ‘wide load’ sign (never know when that will come in handy).
Worth a visit if you’ve got nothing else to do. But take a gas mask, or take lots of antihistamines beforehand.
