Sustainable Household Item Swap

Have too many reusable straws? Don't like your produce bags? Swap your sustainable household items & chat about your sustainable lifestyle.

This is like a Clothing Swap for household items. If your plastic-free sponge isn't right for you, drop it off so it can be taken to a new home. Maybe you'll find some reusable cutlery or an extra to-go mug. You can bring a few items and take a few items. You can also arrive with nothing and leave with something :)

Rules of the Swap

Please bring 0-5 sustainable household items. You don't have to bring anything, but if you do, only bring a max of 5 items that you would love to find during the swap yourself. Were you gifted something you already had? Are you just not using something? Swap it!

Sustainable household items include, but are not limited to:

🥫 Kitchen gadgets (i.e. composter)
🧼 Bathroom goodies (i.e. soap bars)
✨ Cleaning essentials (i.e. toilet pods)
🥤 To-go things (i.e. reusable cutlery)

Donations

🫶 Items that have not been claimed will be donated to Housing Works.
