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 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.
