Southern Waste Solutions (SWS) is the business and trading arm of the Copping Refuse Disposal Site Joint Authority. It aims to provide best-practice, environmentally-sound waste management and disposal services to meet increasing community standards and expectations.
SWS is focussed on growth and has an ambitious long-term strategy to optimise its key strengths for the benefit of the broader Tasmanian community through its Local Government owners. It has evolved from a landfill operator to a mature business with a solid foundation from which to invest in emerging opportunities in the waste sector, particularly guided by the Tasmanian Government's Waste Strategy and Action Plan.
SWS operates the Lutana Waste Transfer Station and the Copping Refuse Disposal Site in southern Tasmania, where major infrastructure projects are underway. The Copping facility includes Tasmania's only C cell disposal site, alongside its B cell facilities. SWS also supports other waste transfer stations in Tasmania on behalf of other Councils and the transport of waste from several locations to the Copping facility.
