Reverse Garbage Queensland Co-op Ltd
Reverse Garbage Queensland Co-op Ltd is a not-for-profit worker run co-operative that promotes environmental sustainability and resource reuse.
We collect high quality industrial discards, diverting them from landfill to sell at low cost to the general public. We were set up in 1998 to support Friends of the Earth Brisbane, to provide meaningful and ecologically sustainable employment and to be an example of a truly sustainable enterprise.
Reverse Garbage Queensland strives to be sustainable in every sense of the word: Environmentally, Socially and Financially. We practice what we preach, minimising our own ecological footprint and educating others about reducing theirs.
