Launceston needs more opportunities for public and business recycling.

Launceston could have a state of the art recycling programme to be the envy of other Australian Cities

All Launceston suburbs offer opportunities to utilise underused or unused space to provide more opportunities for recycling

Lauinceston needs to apply the lessons learned by Dr Edward De Bono to think of innovative solutions to Launceston's recycling needs .
Back to West Launceston and Recycle Funds
Newstead has many suitable sites for recycling stations
This run down retail premise could be adapted for an undercover facility
A drive in or walk in operation could be placed here at the corner of Hoblers Bridge Road and Penquite Road.
This site could be used for a line of wheelie bins positioned just off the footpath
The Newstead Hotel still has space at the rear corner of it's carpark where it used to provide public recycling facilities.
The site of the former Shell Service Station
at Kings Meadows offered  various configurations that would have been  able to co-exist with other uses.
At Invermay the former Ogilvie Park still offers a suitable location for passing motorists travelling from the city,even though the Launceston City Council sold this public land to tpd to a giant logging company.

This site is close to the busy Inveresk Railyard Complex and is close to many fast food outlets.

It can be easily serviced by the recycling companies.
Other suitable sites have been identified in West Launceston and South Launceston.

The Launceston Recycling Project continues to seek out other potential sites for recycling stations or depots.

Real Estate Agents
have been asked to consider the possibilities for their landholdings.sites.

Land and Business Owners
in Launceston are being visited
to discuss public recycling facilities on their properties

The Launceston Recycling Project  workshopped the possibilities for public place recycling with the ,Mayor of Launceston and Collex Recycling's, Craig Fraser
on May 15 2003 , with the view to  organising a further public meeting
to source funds and set about establishing
Launceston's Public  Place Recycling Network.
