ReCollect is the kind of service where you can just set it up and, other than confirming that you…read morestill need a collection, not really have to worry about it. They come and pick up your 10c recycling and there is no delay or fuss with processing the refunds. The service costs you 3c per item, so you end up being refunded 7c per eligible container. Considering it saves you the time and effort to recycle the items yourself, 3c per bottle is very reasonable. A downside is that while the service advertises that they have bins you can purchase to put your cans in, there's no real way to facilitate that. Unfortunately, without the bins, it does mean that you're left using plastic bags to collect your cans in. This is a minor issue, but one area that ReCollect could improve.

As we walk into Reverse Garbage in Marrickville we are met with gigantic paint brushes and pencils…read more The exterior of this recycling warehouse is almost an art installation more so than a shop. "You can't look for something here. You just have to look and hope you find something." I am told when I ask what we are looking for. The answer to my innocent question both profound and vague. We scour the aisles looking for props and set pieces for the music video we've been hired to make. The gigantic dinosaur head is no good, nor are the various blow up hippopotami with back packs on. There are buckets full of circuit boards and shelves full of old digitised and erased film and audio reels. It would seem that everything you could ever imagine would be, at one point or another, housed within these walls. There's a book section out back and I sneak in to have a look, I should be looking for music video props but can't help myself and scour the children's section looking for Seuss. No such luck, there never is. I find 'The Little Match Girl' by Hans Christian Anderson and being that it is in great condition and only $1 I decide to buy it, even though I know that it will make me depressed. A warehouse full of everything you need as long as you don't know what you need.

If you're after 20 of the same birthday card, 100m long reams of paper, a never ending supply of pipe cleaners, rolls of carpet and maroon velvet or manikin feet and arms, then you may just be in luck. Or, rather, if you're not exactly sure what you're after then you may be in luck here too. I'm a bigger fan of The Bower, a similar joint next door with a tad more class, but a trip to Reverse Garbage can be rewarding - we bought 50 cardboard drums from Reverse Garbage which we used as seating for a performance and then recycled into punch bowls, a fortress and super-sized bowling pins in the future. Perfect for a themed party, you can pretty much base your theme on whatever you find the most of at Reverse Garbage. NB: Specified items may or may not actually be stocked by Reverse Garbage. But rest assured that similar such crap will be.

So when I moved to Paddington I just expected my dry cleaning bill to rise. To my delight my local dry cleaner, Boundary Street Laundrette, is the exception to this rule. Inside things looks quite chaotic (an organized mess to say the least!) but this dry cleaner has good prices and good service. For a silk dress dry clean I pay $10 and next day pick up.

There is nothing more soul-destroying than reaching the end of a sunny weekend and feeling like you spent the entire time doing your washing.

Despite Oran Park being a fair distance from the lower north shore where I mostly reside, I choose it initially because it's a new, purpose - built building in a fresh new residentail subburb. I did some research and discovered that hot dry and cold dry were good conditions for my antique oak furniture and clocks. Out in Oran Park they have reduced humidity and more a "temperate" climate for furniture, unlike the heavy damp conditions of most of Sydney. The units are well ventilated, yet a fortress of concrete and metal wall panels against any offending dampness or moulds. I started making inquires and Nicole was amazing! Our move was complicated by the fact that we were living overseas, but Nicole kept me at ease that all would go smooth. Nicole was so knowledgeable, abiding and very flexible for our circumstances. When I arrived with my large amount of furniture, antique books and clocks, I was greeted by Nicole and Mitch like we were old friends. They were both so friendly, helpful and by the time we finally had everything stored away, I left feeling that my precious belongings would be well cared for. I give these guys 10 stars! Don't worry about the distance to Oran Park, because hey, you're stuff will be loving cared for as long as you require storage.

I haven't had any dry cleaning or pressing done there, but every week I drop off my laundry, and come back the next day to a bag of washed, dried & folded good times. $10 for a full bag wash (and that's with quite a lot of clothes). The place is run by a really lovely couple who are great with faces, after only around 3 visits I stopped needing to do any paperwork / receipts stuff. I simply dump my bag, and the next day as soon as I walk in the guy grabs my bag, takes my $10 and off I go. You can pay either when you drop off your clothes, or when you pick them up - it's your choice. They also take eftpos, but there's a $1 surcharge.
