Thinking Green: Children's Clothing Swap

Event description

Outgrown but not outworn? Bring clean, good condition kids clothes (0 – 7years), like you’d gift to a friend, and leave with fresh finds you kids can enjoy – sustainably and without spending a cent!

Drop off clothes prior to the event to allow staff time to sort and display clothes, or bring them on the day.

The City is hosting this event to help residents refresh their child's wardrobe sustainably and affordably whilst avoiding outgrown clothes from potentially entering landfill.

Walk ins welcome but registrations encouraged.
