Who are we?
Southern Waste Solutions is a waste management authority established under section 30 of the Local Government Act 1993 and is jointly owned by Clarence City, Sorell, Tasman and Kingborough Councils. Southern Waste Solutions was established in 2001 and provides waste management solutions to Tasmanians in the Break O’Day, Brighton, Clarence City, Glamorgan Spring Bay, Glenorchy City, Hobart City, Huon Valley, Kingborough, Sorell, Southern Midlands and Tasman Council areas.
Under Section 20 of the Local Government Act 1993 councils are required to look after the health of their communities through the responsible management of waste. Southern Waste Solutions’ owner councils have delegated some of these responsibilities to the organisation.
The role of Southern Waste Solutions includes the operation and management of the Lutana Waste Transfer Station, the Copping Landfill and the Copping C-cell. An independent Board oversees the direction and financial management of the business and a small team of ten manages the two sites. Downer EDI Works operates the Category B landfill under contract to Southern Waste Solutions.
