SWAPSHOP

What We Do

​

Swap, donate or buy affordable and high quality preloved clothing, books, shoes, bags, bric-a-brac and household items.

 

Anyone is welcome to buy or donate items. 

​

How It Works

 

Our vision is for a world without waste. Choosing second hand helps to save carbon emissions and supports a sustainable lifestyle.

​

Our Swapshop can be treated like any other second hand or charity store. Goods are donated, and we put them out for sale in the shop. 

​

Unlike other second hand shops, we try not to let anything useful go to waste. As such we have a free section that includes odds and ends that might come in handy - from lightly used stationary to cables and mugs. These things are free to members. As well as this we partner with local charities wherever possible to ensure that things we cannot sell are still going to use somewhere else. 

​

While we like to try and enable people donate as many different things as possible, unfortunately, there are a few items that we can’t take. Here’s a full list of what we can’t accept and suggestions of alternative places to take them.

Our Swapshop Partners

Fresh Start  |  Aditi  |  Hillcrest Futures Hostel  |  St Cuthbert's  |  Nathan's Wastesavers 

​

We give items that we cannot sell onto our partners so that as many items as possible can be reused locally rather than going straight to landfill.

The Stats

Our community has saved 2147 tonnes of carbon from being added to the atmosphere since 2013.
