SERVICES : Workshops and Training
At Resource Recovery Australia we run a range of community workshops to engage with the local communities we work in.
The Tinkerage is just one of the ways Resource Recovery Australia connects with the community in which we work. The Tinkerage offers weekly drop ins and are open to the whole community. Tinkerers bring along projects they would like to repair, reuse or upcycle. Tinkerers build skills, learn how to work safely and use tools they may never have known how to use before. The Tinkerage is the “everyone shed”.
