There are three good things about Resource in a recession:
1. Your discarded and donated goods are still saved from landfill, providing
2. Our customers with affordable goods to buy, meaning
3. Our workers keep their jobs and we may even be able to employ new people!
Resource Work Cooperative is a not-for-profit cooperative. What this means is we make enough money to employ workers and pay our bills. Any surplus from year to year is used to create more positions for workers or to improve our infrastructure and facilities. The surplus can also be used to buffer against any future losses in income, to ensure our workers keep their jobs.
Resource also provides goods that are affordable for everyone. We even give goods away! Our focus is to provide an alternative to buying new, which is not only good for the hip pocket, and the environment, but also directs money into a not-for-profit cooperative that protects its workers. |

Don’t Dump It, Donate It! |

Have you got an old mobile phone sitting around in a drawer at home?  Not sure what to do with it? It is estimated that Tasmanians have already amassed around 600,000 unused phones (and more every day!) and it is essential that these do not end up in landfill. Mobile phones contain a cocktail of highly toxic chemicals, which can leach from decomposing waste in landfills, and seep into ground water, contaminate the soil, and enter the food chain. Not good! Cerebral Palsy Tasmania is raising money through the Aussie Recycling Program to collect these unused mobile phones and send them for recycling. For each mobile phone you donate Cerebral Palsy receives $5! So, you are not only doing the right thing for the environment, you are helping to raise money to support people with disabilities in Tasmania. All money raised in Tasmania, stays in Tasmania. RESOURCE WORK COOPERATIVE IS AIMING TO RAISE $10,000 FOR CEREBRAL PALSY BY COLLECTING 2,000 UNUSED MOBILE PHONES. Please tell your family, friends, school and work colleges about this challenge! Mobile phones can be donated at the South Hobart Tip Shop and the Collectables Shop in the CBD. Thank you for your support! |
