[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Resource Rescue is a big recycled goods warehouse in Bayswater North filled with all sort of sustainable, reclaimed and recycled arts and craft supplies so you can create your own masterpieces. It’s a particularly useful resource for teachers, kindergartens and child care centres but crafty individuals are also welcome to visit. And it’s a great place to encourage Zero Waste living!
Resource Rescue reclaim rejects, seconds and factory offcuts in order to sell recycled and reclaimed materials at a very cheap price.
The premise is simple – grab a standard 54L garbage bag (20c contribution), take a trolley and fill the bag up with whatever you like for $30 a bag (fabrics costs $5 a metre).
If you pay for a membership the price per bag is reduced. Depending on the number of bags you want to fill in 12 months it can be as cheap as $8.75 a bag.

I visit Resource Rescue to stock up on materials for Wheelie Good Fun’s next few art-making events. My bag is filled with cardboard, reflective strips, tape, foam squares, plastic circular discs, cotton reels and anything else that might make a good building, car, boat or wearable art.
Other items you can find include wood offcuts, rolls of drawing paper, cork, fabric scraps, cardboard material tubes, buckets, plastic, styrofoam. Popular items like trim and coloured feathers go quickly. Have a look at a selection of the range here.
I love Resource Rescue because the shelves of odds and ends inspire children (and adults!) to make new things by reusing old materials. By using recycled materials, creative experiences affordable and accessible to everyone – plus of course it’s good for the planet.
If you are in need of a regular supply of craft materials it’s worth getting a membership and taking a special trip out to Bayswater North. The stock changes all the time so check out the Resource Rescue Craft Supplies Facebook page to see what’s available now. If you can’t make it into the store they offer mail order memberships but it’s a lucky dip as to what materials you receive.
After you visit drop into Bayswater Train Park or head to Mister Fox for a bite to eat
