community clothes swap

 

The annual Community Clothes Swap is our celebration of National Recycling Week, and everyone's welcome to come and join in. The event will be held at the Boonah Cultural Centre on Saturday 5 November between 9am and 1pm.

Bring along some clothes, shoes or accessories (men's, women's and children's) and it's free to swap, or it will cost just a gold coin donation to buy.

Upcycled bags will be available to purchase, and there'll be innovative displays and demonstrations on different ways to mend and upcycle textiles, as well as a fabric destash spot to supplement your supplies.

It's also the perfect place to ask questions about recycling, and bring along items for recycling like prescription drug packaging (blister packs), disposable masks, coffee bags, water and air filters, corks (natural and synthetic), pens and markers, household batteries, old plastic store cards, sturdy fabric, old sheets and curtains, and bras and swimmers for collaborative recycling initiatives. 

Many new recycling initiatives have been added to our recycling register, and info on these will be available, or check online for our recycling register which continues to be updated. 

Right next door to the Cultural Foundation's Book Fest, another great recycling week event with thousands of low cost books.


Thanks to support from the Scenic Rim Regional Council's Community Grant Program, we have now invested in some paid Terracycle recycling opportunities. Items are listed alphabetically on the Recycling Register. We'd love to help you with your 'waste' 😊
