If you are wisely taking advantage of the pre-event drop off option you will need to remember to include your name and phone number on a piece of paper inside your bag together with your items for exchange. This is very important as we need to know how many items we received from you, to ensure you get the right amount on your priority entry pass on the day. Your name will go on our list for early entry and all you will need to do is turn up at 10am to receive your pass showing how many items you will be able to swap.
Items that have been unsuccessful in the screening process will be returned to you on the day or you may request to have them donated to a local charity op-shop.
Feel free to contact Sara or Carly if you have any further questions.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF EXCHANGE EVENTS
- Recycling takes items you have finished with and puts them back into circulation.
- By passing your clothes, accessories or equipment on to others, you are diverting materials from landfill thus conserving resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Reusing a product, rather than buying a new one, reduces the demands for water, energy and raw materials. This reduces the impact on the environment.
- Swapping 1 suitcase (20kg) of clothes saves enough energy to run a TV non-stop for 1.7 years.
- Swapping clothing diverts these organic materials from landfill. In landfill they produce methane, a greenhouse gas with the global warming capacity 20 times stronger than CO2.
