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

We also support many local community groups and deliver programs throughout 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.

To misquote a famous Ogre, “We have layers!” 🧅

Our layers work to support and inform each other, so that we can all do our best job, whilst maintaining a strong and empowered workforce! It’s not always perfect, but we’re dedicated to the bigger picture, and helping all of Tasmania live in a better and cleaner world 💚
