Feature Series: Reverse Garbage Sydney
Creative. Thrifty. Responsible. Independent.
Introducing: Reverse Garage, a creative reuse centre based in Marrickville, Sydney.
Reverse Garbage
Reverse Garbage is an institution among Sydney-siders. It is a cross between an op-shop, and your Grandma's craft room, resplendent with the colours of the circus. Between 400 and 500 people come through the doors every day, with some regulars visiting everyday of the year.
Reverse Garbage prepares for 2013 Mardi Gras Fair Day
Reverse Garbage's Andrew and Oscar give us a sneak peek at the reuse signage and decorations being made for Fair Day 2013. All materials used were sourced at Reverse Garbage's Marrickville site at The Addison Road Community Centre.
Reverse Garbage's creative team of artists, designers and educators are available to consult on your next community, corporate or social event. For more information visit:

TOMRA Bottles for the Bush Recycling Appeal
bottlesforthebush.org.au
Our farmers are facing the worst drought and the most dangerous bushfires in living memory. Some towns have been burnt to the ground already and others could run out of water by Christmas.
The good news is that you can help! All you have to do is donate some of your empty drink containers this summer at any TOMRA Recycling Location (Return and Earn in NSW and Containers for Change in QLD). Every eligible container donated raises 10c for our Bottles for the Bush Appeal and all the funds raised go to Rural Aid to support our farmers and rural communities in need.
Our goal is to collect 2.5 million containers and raise up to $250,000 by 23rd February 2020, so please pledge your support and start collecting your empty drink containers today!
100% of all donations go directly to Rural Aid to supply Rural Communities with Food, Water and Hay.

The Coriolis Effect Test: two hemispheres, one sink
The Coriolis Effect Test: two hemispheres, one sink
Disproven! The Coriolis Effect does not make the water drain out a sink anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern.
Have you taken the same sink to both hemispheres? If so: send in your data to add to mine.
Northern: Clockwise, clockwise, clockwise, clockwise, clockwise.
Southern: Anti-clockwise, anti-clockwise, clockwise, anti-clockwise, clockwise.

If you’re wondering how I transported the sink from one hemisphere to the other: that is covered in the Patreon behind-the-scenes footage for this week. Support me on Patreon for as little as $1.11 and get access to all bonus content.
Huge thanks to Trent Burton who filmed the video in London, Simon Wright who filmed the Sydney footage and Jen Rogers who was the on-site runner and statistical consultant. Trent then nearly died trying to do the edit.
The sink was donated to a recycling centre in Sydney. It was last seen by the front door of Reverse Garbage (Addison Road, Marrickville, NSW). If anyone wants to buy the sink, it may still be there! If anyone checks on the sink let me know if you find it or not. Last known photo of the sink:
CORRECTIONS:
- It sounds like I say Dustin at one point instead of Destin, sorry about that. I got the wrong name wrong.
- Let me know if you spot anything else!

I went for a ride inside one of the new Marrickville trucks where I decided to snap this shot of the back-up camera... of course not as exciting as side loader hopper cameras, but still pretty cool to watch =]
