Launceston tip shop

Dear All

For the last 12 months I have been working to try and get a tip shop back and operating in Launceston (remember EcoSalv???) and now there is going to be a public forum where residents can come and support the idea.

If you ever went to EcoSalv or support the idea of resource recovery, please put the date below in your diary (Monday July 19, 6pm – Town Hall) and come along and have your say, or why not make a submission (can be just a few paragraphs) and email it to the address below (details below as well)

The more voices we have supporting the push for a tip shop the better our chances of seeing one open soon.

I’ll see you there!

Cheers, Jeremy

Have your say on the future of waste in Launceston

Do you have ideas about resource recovery in Launceston? Then we would like to hear from you!

Launceston City Council recently commissioned a review of the strategies used for resource recovery at the Launceston Waste Centre and the options for the future. This report is now available for public comment.

The report will be presented at a Community Workshop on Monday 19 July from 6.00pm in the Reception Room, Town Hall. This will be followed by an expert panel question and answer session which the community are invited to participate in.

Launceston City Council Director of Infrastructure Services, Harry Galea said “We’re all aware of the importance of reducing our impact on the world. Although there is a great deal of recycling and recovery happening at the Launceston Waste Centre, since the retirement of EcoSalv there are many in the community seeking a ‘Tip Shop’. This report was commissioned to enable Council to find, and implement, the best options for resource recovery.”

The report is available from the Council’s website at www.launceston.tas.gov.au or by contacting Council’s Customer Service Centre on 6323 3000.

Submissions can be made by emailing council@launceston.tas.gov.au or by writing to Launceston City Council, PO Box 396, Launceston TAS 7250 by 6 August 2010.

So if you would like to see a tip shop return to Launceston, then please come along to the meeting!
