ONE SMALL CHANGE, ONE BIG IMPACT
Discover simple, everyday changes that can make a positive impact on our environment.
In Australia, around 66% of waste is recovered through recycling or reuse—but there’s still more we can do together. The Logan Recycling Market gives pre-loved items a second life, creating positive outcomes for our community. Donate or shop to reduce landfill and give back locally. Every purchase helps fund programs through the City of Logan Charitable Trust.
Open Friday to Sunday, 10am to 3pm. Visit the Logan Recycling Market to donate, shop and do good.
