Our Services

Community Engagement

Our reuse, repair and education initiatives help councils build more connected and sustainable communities.

At Resource Recovery Australia, we believe strong communities are key to building a better future. We're not just here to manage waste, we're here to help people learn, connect and take part in practical change that supports both people and the planet.

Engaging the community at every step.

We don't just manage waste — we engage people to better understand waste. At our Community Recycling Centres, residents are encouraged to sort and donate before heading to the weighbridge. Our frontline team chat with visitors about reuse and recycling, building public awareness and supporting more sustainable communities.

Through our Reviva Reuse Shops, The Tinkerage workshops and reuse competitions, we bring people together to learn new skills, share ideas and take action. Our focus is always on education and real community impact.

COMMUNITY INITIATIVES

The Tinkerage

A reuse workshop space that empowers the community through hands-on educational workshops and training programs.

Reviva Reuse Shops

Our reuse shops are a space to engage the community in the value of shopping second-hand. Giving goods a new life minimises waste and maximises the use of resources by keeping materials in circulation.

The Reviva Reuse Competition

Every year in November we run a reuse competition to encourage locals to get creative with recycled materials and create a unique sculpture or product. Focusing on resourcefulness, creativity and originality this event is a fun way to engage communities in recycling.
