About the event

Trash to Treasure
You're invited to the 5th annual Trash to Treasure event—a fun filled celebration of waste reuse, landfill reduction and sustainability!

Join us at the Buy Back Shop in Portsmith for a day packed with live entertainment, hands-on workshops, and local market stalls. Discover clever ways to repurpose, upcycle and reuse everyday items, and don’t miss the thrilling finale of the Reuse, Rethink, Repurpose Competition, where local schools and early learning centres showcase their amazing waste-to-wonder creations.

Proudly hosted by Cairns Regional Council, Trash to Treasure is a free community event celebrating waste education, reduction, and a circular future for all.
