Reuse database

Can’t re-home your item through us? Don’t sweat it – use our database to find a new home for your donations!

Here at Bower Reuse and Repair Centres, we work hard to make sure we can accommodate as many donators as possible. We are passionate about saving perfectly usable items from going to landfill! There are still a lot of other options out there before taking your items to the tip, which is why we created the Reuse Database.

This amazing tool allows you to locate other reuse- repair- and recycling organisations, social media groups and social enterprises within the Greater Sydney region. It’s easy to use:

  • Choose your item category from the drop down menu
  • Type in the name of your council and hit ‘apply’
  • Type in your postcode and hit ‘apply’
  • You can then send the results to your email address for quick access

Do you know of a bad-ass recycling social enterprise or an active community group on Facebook that you think should be included in the database? Know something we don’t?
