Windarring’s Castlemaine Recycled Store has some new exciting changes happening as of this week.
The shop has welcomed a new shop coordinator and new opening hours, as well as advertising a massive shop sale that kicked off yesterday and runs until Friday.
The store at 317 Barker Street, Castlemaine, sells second-hand goods including clothing, kids’ toys, bric-a-brac, books, vintage items and more.
The store is a little business with a huge social impact, hiring people with a disability to engage in meaningful employment to develop their skills, connect with their community and build their confidence and sense of belonging.
Francesca (Frankie) Nugent is the new Recycled Store coordinator and has a wealth of retail experience and passion in ensuring the store is ethical and environmentally friendly.
“Our supported employees receive on the job training to work in customer service, daily operations of a retail business and money handling skills. Our team pride themselves in providing high quality stock and great customer service experience to all our customers,” Francesca said.
“We welcome and appreciate your quality donations, but please keep in mind that dumping rubbish negatively impacts our supported employees, and our business. Our shop donation bins are accessible from Monday to Friday for all your pre-loved donations.
“We are clearing out old stock to make room for your donations. During the sale a bag of any clothes can be purchased for $5 dollars and all bric-a-brac is 50 per cent off.”
Windarring Castlemaine Recycled Store’s new hours are: Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9pm-3pm.
