Item Swap & Exchange
Need something for back to school? Have things to donate? Join us!
Please bring an item to swap and fill out our waiver either on Eventbrite or at the event!
What to expect
Join Heart Comonos for our Circular Economy Initiative workshops on Mending, Weaving, and Appliance Repair! These workshops are part of the Heart Comonos mission to promote environmental wellness through sustainable practices and skill development.
Our goal for these workshops is to extend the usability of household items to minimize waste sent to landfills, and to reduce our dependence on mass-produced retailers. With help from our expert “fixers,” we will do our best to repair items, and to teach community members the skills required to do it for themselves.
In this event, we will be hosting an item swap & exchange! Clothing and item swaps are useful for communities to share what we already have, without buying new or throwing out what others can use. We hope that this event will support families preparing for back-to-school and other folks in the community looking to exchange items. Bring what you don’t need and leave with something you do!
Please bring one of the following (in good condition) to swap with an item you need:
- Backpacks
- Stationary/arts supplies
- Notebooks/paper
- Good condition clothing/Bags
- Small appliances
- Small furniture
- Toys/games
We are deeply thankful to the Region of Peel for supporting this project through Peel Region’s Circular Economy Fund Initiative 2026. We are also thankful to The City of Mississauga for helping us to run these events with knowledgable volunteers.
