SUMMARY:Drop it\, Swap it - FREE Reduce and Reuse Event 2024
DESCRIPTION:Drop it Swap it is an event where people bring small\, portable items that are clean and in good working condition\, which they no longer want or need. Items are dropped off early\, categorized\, and then displayed on swap tables where participants can browse and find something new to take home. These Free Swaps are a fantastic way to give new life to items\, reduce waste\, and prevent things from ending up in the landfill. Additionally\, the event fosters a strong sense of community\, offering residents a chance to meet and connect with like-minded individuals. \nDate : September 28\, 2024\nTime : Drop it! 9am -10:30am\nSwap it! 12pm- 2pm\nLocation : Deschutes County Road Department Parking Lot\n61150 SE 27th Street\, Bend\, OR 97702 \nWhy Participate?\nThis event isn’t just about finding something new – it’s about making a difference. By participating in Drop It\, Swap It\, you’re helping to keep perfectly good items out of the landfill and giving them a second life. It’s a fun\, eco-friendly way to de-clutter your home and discover hidden treasures from others in our community! \nHow It Works: \n\nDrop It: Bring your unwanted\, portable items to the event from 9-10:30am at the Deschutes County Roads Department. Items will be sorted by category to make browsing easy.\nSwap It: Once the items are set up\, the swap begins\, 12-2pm!
