South Hobart Tip Shop

South Hobart Tip Shop The South Hobart Tip Shop is owned and operated by the Resource Work Cooperative. We practice consensus decision making.

-Free Community Pick Up Service
-Urban Salvage Service
-Creative and Practical Re-Use Workshops
-Tip Shop Tours
-Annual Art From Trash Exhibition at the Long Gallery, Salamanca

We also support many local community groups and deliver programs thr

oughout the broader community. Where does our income go?
-Employment expenses (85% of income)
-Insurance
-Rent
-Truck and Forklift maintenance
-Art From Trash Exhibition
-Electricity
-Charity - we make annual donations to a number of organisations

Resource is self-governed and self-funded. This means that the business belongs to the people who you see working at the Tip Shop and giving school workshops. Our workers also volunteer their spare time to attend monthly general meetings where they decide the running of the cooperative. Resource is committed to all-gender inclusivity in our shop and workplace. We welcome diversity and any feedback for improvements. Resource Work Cooperative acknowledges that the Muwinina people of the South East Aboriginal nation are the traditional and original owners of this land. We pay our respects to today’s traditional owners, the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community, the palawa people, and to Elders past, present and emerging.

Back in March, one of our Co-Op Members, Tom, attended the brilliant BCCM and RACT Icons Breakfast at Parliament House to celebrate the history and impact that Cooperatives and member owned businesses have in Tasmania. It was great to join our friend Molly from the Cooperative Federation and Sandra from the Flower Room, and meet Melina, CEO of BCCM!

Sticking true to Principle #6 of a Cooperative: Cooperation between Cooperatives!
