Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
Our flagship “not waste” project is the Denmark Tip Shop
Operating since 2001 it has diverted thousands of tonnes of waste from landfill. It provides employment and a range of volunteering and skill development opportunities. Green Skills demonstrates a commitment to a zero waste future across all areas of the organisation from our office management to our programs and events.
