Operated by not-for-profit group, Aware Programs, the upcycle and recycle shop gives new life to old household goods, and also provides valuable employment and training to the supported workforce sector.
Aware’s team includes local people with disabilities, long-term job seekers and people who are retraining for new careers.
You can deliver unwanted household items such as bikes, books, furniture, tools and toys to the Albury Recycling Centre.

The Upcycle and Recycle shop also offers low-grade mulch for a small donation and five kg bags of kindling for just $5. The team also transforms waste such as timber pallets into furniture and other useful items.
The AWARE Upcycle Shop is located next to the Albury Waste Management Centre and can be accessed via Mudge Street, just past the Albury Animal Care Centre.
