Second Hand Shop Trials New Operating Hours
Armidale Regional Council is excited to announce a three-month trial of extended operating hours at the Second-Hand Shop, located at the Armidale Waste Management Facility.
During Spring, we will be trialling to open the second-hand shop on the following days:
- Fridays: 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM
- Weekends: 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM
This trial aims to give the community more flexibility and time to browse, discover, and reuse quality second-hand items. Whether you're looking for a weekend treasure hunt or a Friday afternoon browse, the new hours make it easier to plan your visit.
The initiative is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and waste reduction, encouraging reuse and giving pre-loved items a second life. It also responds to community feedback requesting more accessible shopping times.
Plan Your Visit
We invite residents to take advantage of the extended hours and support the trial. Your feedback will help shape future operations and ensure the shop continues to meet community needs.
