Cardinia residents are encouraged to refresh their children’s wardrobe and toys for free at the upcoming Children’s Clothing and Toy Swap event.
Cardinia Shire Council is partnering with The Clothing Exchange to provide an environmentally friendly way to help parents/guardians of children aged three to eight tackle how quickly they grow out of their clothes and toys.
The Children’s Clothing and Toy Swap event will be held from 10am to 11.30am on Sunday 7 April at the Beaconsfield Community Complex at 8 O’Neil Road in Beaconsfield.
Parents/guardians need to bring up to six good-quality pre-washed items of clothing and/or six good-quality toys to the event, which can then be traded in for tokens to use as ‘currency’ for other clothes and toys.
Cardinia Shire mayor Jack Kowarzik said all members are encouraged to get involved.
“This is a fun and thrifty way to give new life to clothes and toys that your children have outgrown,” he said.
“It is exciting to know that clothing and toys that otherwise may end up in landfill, will be enjoyed by other families.”
