Lids4Kids still proudly calls Canberra home, establishing a Community Recycling & Education Centre (HUB) in 2022 to manage our Zero Waste Warrior programs, manufacture recycled plastic furniture, host educational tours and hands-on workshops. Our HUB is an inclusive space bringing people of all ages and abilities together to foster social connections, support mental health and empower everyone to make a meaningful difference for our environment.

Our Community Recycling & Education Centre (HUB) is located at 141 Canberra Avenue, Fyshwick ACT. Open from 10am-2pm, Monday to Saturday (and the 2nd and 3rd Sunday of the month). 

Our HUB offers many volunteer opportunities for people of all ages,abilities and levels of experience. We need help with collecting, sorting, administration, construction and helping at community events – just to name a few! Please feel free to contact us or pop into the HUB for a chat.

YOU can help prevent millions of everyday household waste items from ending up in landfill every year. If you reside in the ACT Region, your annual membership (only $29) includes a FREE Zero Waste Warrior tub which can be exchanged over and over at various locations.

Did you know that our Lids4Kids members rescue dozens of other everyday household items from going to landfill? Our Zero Waste Warrior tubs can accept many (completely recyclable)plastic and metal items that are too small to go into your kerbside recycling bin.

Our Lids4Kids Zero Waste Warrior (ZWW) Tub Swap&Go program allows you to exchange your full ZWW tub for an empty ZWW tub at participating locations across the ACT region. You can do this as many times as you like throughout the year, provided your items are clean and dry and fit within your ZWW tub. Our Swap&Go locations can NOT accept bulk collections.
