Salamander Bay Recycling: Helping our local community

.

Salamander Bay Recycling is a proud member of the Port Stephens' business community.

We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation run by the community, for the community.

.

A list of local Government, charitable and benevolent organisations we have worked with over the last few months is listed below; they have been the recipients of cash donations, furniture, equipment and project supplies which are then distributed via that organisation to where it is most needed.
.

But that is only part of the story... .

.

There have also been numerous individuals and families who have also benefited from our assistance across the same period. .

.

Those individuals will remain anonymous; but remember the next time you pop into see us (to pick up a guaranteed bargain), the money you spend with us and the second-hand items you donate also get "recycled".

.

It gets recycled back into the community, to help some of the less-fortunate people around us make a better life for themselves and their families... so as a result, we think that you're pretty "awesome" for giving us the opportunity to do so.

The (Weekday Trading) Times They Are a-Changin'

.
What's the time "Bob"?
.

Bob Dylan's impassioned lyrical protest in the 1964 release of "The Times They Are a-Changin' " is world-renowned; however, a little-known fact about the song is that he actually started writing it as an advertisement for the proposed changes to the weekday trading times of Salamander Bay Recycling.

.

The original song title of "The Weekday Trading Times of Salamander Bay Recycling Are a-Changin'" was altered late 1963 and the lyrics reworked in a flagrant attempt by Dylan to financially capitalise on the civil rights movement in '60s America.

.

We may have been disappointed that Dylan reneged on his agreement to write a radio advert for Salamander Bay Recycling but we have not let this deter us from our ultimate goal: to open longer hours for your convenience.

.

So, come gather round people wherever you roam; after 46 (long) years of failed Supreme Court legal battles and personal recriminations, we are proud to advise that the Centre's weekday trade has been extended by 2 hours, to a new and very shiny 5.00pm finish.

.

Please heed the call: "The Weekday Trading Times of Salamander Bay Recycling (really) Are a-Changin'".

.

Thanks for nothin' "Bob"... (or as you are known around these parts: Robert Allen Zimmerman).

.

.

Monday - Friday: 9.00am - 5.00pm
