Welcome to Sustain-A-Cycle: A Trash to Treasure Initiative
Transforming Trash into Treasures
Who We Are
We are a not-for-profit organisation aiming to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill while simultaneously empowering people living in poverty.
What We Do
We collect the rubbish that is donated to our volunteer-run collection locations, then transport it to our economically disadvantaged partners, who turn our trash into treasure. Their handmade crafts are then sold on our website, with all profits going back to the artisans themselves.
Environment
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
We provide easily accessible locations for people to drop off their reusable trash, rather than allowing it to go to landfill.
Poverty
Empowering Lives
We take this trash to our economically disadvantaged partners, who turn it into beautiful works of art. Then, we sell their crafts, giving all the profits back to the artisans.
Volunteering
The Heart of Sustain-A-Cycle
Our volunteers donate their time and space, generously allowing us to use their homes as collection locations.
