Reuse centres (or tip shops) recover quality items which were destined to become landfill and sell them back to the community. They are found at council transfer stations across Australia.

These shops—and secondhand selling in general—represent the circular economy in action. They keep items in use, delivering more value for longer. 

​Councils across Australia often use the Garage Sale Trail program to promote their reuse centres. More tip shop customers means more sales and greater impacts for the community. The program has also been used to promote other council facilities like libraries, plant nurseries and daycare centres.
