The Denmark Tip Shop and Re-Use Centre is committed to diverting the maximum quantity of materials from landfill as possible.
The Tip Shop achieves this by a variety of means.
- Collection and resale of usable items including furniture, bike parts, linen, fabric, clothes, building materials, kitchenware, outdoors goods and electrical household goods
- Degassing of fridges and air conditioners
- Non ferrous metal salvage
- Found object art workshops
- Innovative clothing restoration and sewing with scraps workshops
- Worm farms and composting
- Junk music, junk workshop re-imagining, junk art
- Repair and restoration of broken items
- Used battery drop-off
- Waste education
- Not Waste Festival and Waste throw-away separation management at festivals with the help of community Waste Faeries
- and those unexpected home maintenance items that you need at low cost or simply cant buy anymore!
- Green Skills believes that reducing (and ultimately eliminating) waste provides a tremendous benefit in terms of energy saving and efficiency; the Denmark Tip Shop has gone from strength to strength. In 2014 a formal lease was signed with the Shire of Denmark Council and this now guides the operations of the Tip Shop. Green Skills strives to develop this vibrant community hub in a way that strengthens its community services, financial viability, safety standards, policies and operating systems, and capacity to expand its sustainability and social function.
GOAL:
Green Skills strives to demonstrate best practice waste minimisation and sustainable living through excellence in re-use, recycling, community education and behavioural change.
The Denmark Tip Shop is more than just a place to bring unwanted goods – it’s about a sustainable future. Our goal is to give waste a new life through re-use and repair. With the help of our education centre we will guide the Denmark and South Coast community towards more informed, sustainable choices and behaviour.
AIMS:
Continue to develop and implement waste avoidance and minimisation solutions for drop-off waste
- Continue to provide a best practice reuse facility/Tip Shop
- Continue to expand recycling activities for drop-off waste that can be sold at the Tip Shop, thereby providing a local solution for local problems (e.g. Tagged/checked electrical items, sorted salvage materials)
- Continue to expand recycling activities for drop-off waste that is forwarded externally/sold (e.g. non-ferrous scrap metal)
- Implement a process of continuous improvement for all current operations
- Investigate opportunities for Construction and Demolition recycling
Continue to develop and implement waste avoidance and minimisation solutions for Green Waste
- Continue to encourage community involvement including worm farms, home composting and source separation
- Investigate opportunities and potential for Green Waste recycling (e.g. organics processing/composting, energy generation)
Continue to develop and deliver education in sustainability and waste minimisation
- Continue to run in-house workshops and linkages to community arts and school programs
- Develop and maintain an onsite educational facility and resources
- Continue to ensure that The Denmark Tip Shop and Recycling Education Centre delivers community and social benefits as components of its waste minimisation and sustainable living programs
