Swap events centred around specific types of items, such as books, movies, toys and more, let residents trade items with each other at no charge in a fun and safe environment. Rather than throwing them away, or letting them collect dust on the shelf, you can give them a second life and find something new for yourself! Bring up to 5 items to trade, free of charge.
The Reuse Centre will still be open for regular business during the swap, so you are welcome to drop off any donations you may have while you're here.
Date | Time | Type of Item |
---|---|---|
May 18 | 10am-3pm | Sporting Goods Bring in your usable sporting goods. No machines or weights. |
June 15 | 10am-3pm | Toys Swap usable outgrown toys. |
July 20 | 10am-3pm | Movies Swap usable commercially recorded beta, VHS and DVD's. |
