Penrith City Council is collaborating with neighbouring councils in The Parks Strategic Waste Alliance (Camden Council, Campbeltown City Council, and Wollondilly Shire Council) to explore the desire for resource recovery and waste avoidance services in our region.

This includes services like a repair café, a library of things and a tip shop. These types of services encourage community reuse, repair, and resource sharing. Having access to these types of services in our region will also help you to reduce waste and save money!

We invited the community to complete a short survey from 26 May to 30 June 2025 to get a better understanding of your experiences with these types of services, and your thoughts on bringing services such as a tip shop, repair café and library of things to our region.

Those who completed the survey could enter the draw win one of 4 x $100 gift cards. View the Terms & Conditions. We'll be contacting the lucky winner shortly.
