Brimbank council has opened up registrations for a clothing swap event as part of Youth Fest 2023.
At the clothing swap young people will be able to browse through clothing to choose pieces to swap with items they no longer want.
In Australia, over 200,000 tonnes of clothing goes to landfill each year. This event aims to reduce clothing consumption and promote the habit of reusing clothes.
Attendees can bring up to five items of clothing or accessories that they no longer wear and swap them for five swapped items.
Clothes brought to the swap must be clean, good quality and in good condition: not worn out, faded, pillaged, pongy or damaged.
Clothing or accessories that can be swapped include, dresses, pants, skirts, tops, jumpers, coats, jumpsuits, shoes, bags, scarves, hats, sunglasses and jewellery.
The clothing swap is open to all young people aged 10 to 25, and will take place on September 26, at VISY Cares Hub in Sunshine from 11am-2pm.
Items can be dropped off between 11am-12pm. Swapping will start at 12pm.
