The Seagull Centre Trust was established in 2004 to oversee the operation of a resource recovery facility, with the key objective of reducing the contribution of waste to landfill. More items in good nick will be rescued from landfill thanks to a half a million dollar expansion in Thames.
About The Seagull Centre
The Seagull Centre is an award-winning, registered charitable trust and has been operating from the Thames site since 2004.
Operating as a social enterprise, the Seagull Centre is a community recycling and resource recovery facility generating revenue from the sale of goods and materials contributed by the local community. By diverting waste from landfill, the Seagull Centre is a self-funded operation providing local employment and affordable goods.
The centre also provides education and training services on enviromental management and assisting training students into work. Where possible, the centre also contributes goods and grant funding to other organisations. The Seagull Centre has gone through a major development to establish a Resource Recovery Park and will effectively be doubling operations to significantly increase it impact of waste diversion from landfill.
A workshop is part of the expansion where donated goods can be reconditioned or upcycled for sale. The Resource Recovery Park development has included the relocation (recycling!) of two disused classrooms from a local primary school which are used for workshop space and skills training in the repair and rejuvenation of furniture, appliances and other equipment. Domestic traffic bound for the Refuse Transfer Station to dump unwanted goods is now directed through the expanded Seagull Centre where staff will help customers sort out furniture and equipment that can be sold at the centre's shop or reconditioned in the new workshop.
If you are interested in being involved as a volunteer, call into the centre and talk to our staff. It is regarded as one of the most popular businesses in town and there is always lots happening.

You could furnish your house from cutlery to bedroom furniture from here. You would end up with some beautiful pieces of furniture, and lovely things for the rest of your home. ?
