The Thing Swap is right around the corner!
Join the Shasta Environmental Alliance, Western Shasta Resource Conservation District, and Shasta Conservation Fund for a lively âFree for All ~ Thing Swapââa morning of sharing, treasureâhunting, and community connection. Bring gently used items you no longer need, set them out for others to enjoy, and browse the tables to see what useful or delightful things you might take home.
Thing swaps are a simple, joyful way to care for our ecosystem by reducing consumption, extending the life of everyday items, and keeping usable goods out of the landfill. They also strengthen community tiesâevery shared object becomes a small act of generosity that helps neighbors meet neighbors.
Event Details
You may place your giveaway items on the tables provided or bring your own. Please label any personal tables as ânot part of swapâ so they return to their owners at the end of the event.
Participants are responsible for removing any unclaimed items they brought. Event organizers cannot provide disposal or cleanup services.
After youâve finished setting out and collecting items, stay to enjoy informal community activitiesâgames, raffles, and opportunities to connect with others who care about reducing waste and building a resilient local community.
Please, no pets except service dogs on a leash.
Parking is limited near the WSRCD building, so carpooling is encouraged.
Prepare for the Event
Clean out your garage, shed, and closets. Look for items you havenât used in a year, things that feel like clutter, or items someone else could put to good use. Unused seed packets, extra garden tools, plastic pots, bikes, skates, camping gear, kitchen items, books, art suppliesâalmost anything can find a new home.
Pack your items for easy transport. Bring boxes or bags you can carry from the unloading area to the tables, which may be a few hundred feet away.
Label items that are not part of the swap. Mark tarps, tables, boxes, or other containers you plan to take home.
Bring a bag or box for treasures you collect. Label it with your name so others know your gathered items are no longer available for swapping.
