Our donated electronics are looking beautiful, but nothing shines brighter than the volunteers working on them! ⚡✨

Share the glow by donating your unwanted electronics to our House to Home program, giving them a second life supporting people recovering from crisis.

Just drop off your small household electricals at The Bower Reuse and Repair Centre (Summer Hill), every Wednesday from 2–5pm.

Let there be lights!! 💡✨

These fantastic folk had the bright idea to repair their lights rather than replace them, and our electronics specialist had them glowing in no time!

Broken leads, faulty power supplies and loose connections were no match for Andrew, who got everything working again using only reclaimed components. 🌟

Got a household electronic that’s on the blink? Book a 30-minute session with Andrew to give it a second life via the link in our comments! 👇

Last Thursday The Bower provided textile and household item repairs at Bankstown's Wellbeing Festival. 🧘‍♀️

We really enjoyed meeting members of the community and chatting about sustainability and the reasons why you brought your items to us for repair.

Thanks to for coming with us and providing all of your expert knowledge on textile repair. 🪡

Last month The Bower attended The Northern Beaches Council Reuse and Recycling event. We helped rescue usable electronics and furntiure from landfil by accepting donations from people in the local council area. ♻

These donations have gone on to furnish the homes of people coming out of crisis 🏠

We accepted a range of electronics such as lamps, phones, tablets, toasters and vaccums, household small furniture such as chest of draws and bedside tables.

We will be accepting ONLY electronics and washing machines at the next event.

The next event is being held on the 21/11 so put the date in your calander if you are a Northern Beaches council resident. ☀️ We will be accepting ONLY electronics.
