Resource Work Coop - Recycling - Jason Richards - 2021 - 09 - 27 CoCan - a podcast by 2XX Behind the Lines and Align in the Sound teams

This month:
Jason Richards joins us from the Resource Work Co-op in Hobart, Tasmania, believed to be the largest worker owned coop in Australia.
The Resource Co-op is a worker owned coop with 33 worker / owners, and has been running since 1993.

What began as a tip face recycling effort is now flourishing, despite many setbacks that may have folded a different type of enterprise.

Amongst other things, they currently:
- run a tip shop, including 2nd hand arts supplies
- pull large buildings apart by hand - reducing massive demolition waste
- collect unwanted reusable things from the public
- collect recyclables from building sites
- run an annual art from trash exhibition
- run education programs

They are completely self funding through their activities.
