Rethink Waste Clothing Swap

85% of all textiles in the United States end up in a landfill! Not only is this horrible for the planet, but it’s also hard on your wallet. To help combat textile waste in Central Oregon, we are hosting a clothing swap with Bloei Collective and several community members! Bring your gently worn items in REALLY GOOD condition, and take home some new-to-you pieces. This is an opportunity to clean out your wardrobe and refresh!

This is not an opportunity to get rid of clothing with rips, stains, or damage, it’s a way to give your gently worn clothes a new life. Only donate something you would be proud to wear. You do not need to donate clothing to participate—just bring your own basket or bag to carry out your new items.

We recommend arriving between 10 a.m.–1 p.m., but you don’t need to show up right at 10. There may be a line, and we can only allow a limited number of people in the building at one time. Staggering your arrival will give you a better chance to browse without a crowd.

The official clothing swap will be held on Saturday, September 13th, from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. If you plan to donate clothing, all items must be dropped off on Friday, September 12th, between 11 a.m.–4 p.m. at The Environmental Center. We will spend the morning leading up to the event sorting clothing so it’s a smooth experience for everyone. If you cannot drop your clothes off on Friday, please email mary@envirocenter.org.
