Reuse Centre Swap Events

Swap events focus on specific types of items, such as books, movies, and toys. Residents can 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 five 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.

Time: 10am-3pm

Date	Event Type
February 17 Family Day	Toys Swap your usable outgrown toys!
March 15	Seeds and Plants Swap
May 17	Small Appliances Countertop or handheld only. Must be clean and in safe and usable condition.
