Clothing Exchange Brunswick
Merri-bek residents are invited to bring along clothes that you no longer wear to exchange for some ‘new to you’ pieces!
You can bring along up to 8 garments and accessories that are no longer bringing you joy and exchange them for other items. It's like a whole new wardrobe for FREE!
Once you have washed and checked your garments for any flaws (we don't accept items that are stained, pilled or smelly) pack them up and bring them along to our swap at Brunswick Town Hall on Sunday 6 September.
At drop-off you will be given tokens to 'buy' some new pieces with - 1 token is equal to 1 item - it's like shopping without cash!
Garments must be good quality and free from stains, holes, pills and smells with plenty of wear left for their new life. Items will be screened at the event before being exchanged for tokens.
Please remember, once you have swapped your items for tokens, there is no going back, so please make sure you are detached from your clothing.
Due to the volume of clothing at these swaps, it is not possible to find your goods if you change your mind.
