Big Aussie Swap
How can you update your wardrobe, book and music collection, kids toy box or toolshed for free? Join Aussies from around the country and come along to the Big Aussie Swap Party! To celebrate National Recycling Week, Darwin City Council is teaming up with Planet Ark to bring you the Big Aussie Swap. The Swap Party will be held simultaneously with other capital cities throughout Australia to promote recycling and reuse.
At the Darwin Swap Party you bring along 3 clean, good quality items you no longer want. Hand them over to the staff or volunteers in exchange for a token. You then browse through items brought by others. Once the Swap is declared ‘open', you swap your tokens back for items you want. No money changes hand and you don't need to barter with anyone.
Your items will be assessed for quality at the registration desk.
Swap Parties are fun, free and green. By swapping, you help save water and energy, reduce greenhouse gasses and keep valuable resources out of landfill.
The details for Darwin City Councils Big Aussie Swap are:
- Tuesday 10 November 2009;
- 12noon to 2pm;
- Raintree Park, corner of Smith Street and Knuckey Street;
Any three quality items which can be easily carried and are non-electrical. Examples include clothes, shoes, accessories, books, CD's, DVD's, ornaments, jewelry, games, toys, tools, pictures and kitchen accessories;
