Free Drop & Swap: Fall Pop-Up

Turn “too much stuff” into “just what someone needed”. Bring your gently used fall and winter things like sports gear, Halloween costumes or Holiday decorations and swap them for something new-to-you! It’s a fun, landfill-friendly seasonal way to declutter, connect with your neighbours, and give pre-loved treasures a second life.

The event is hosted by Ottawa South Eco-Action Network (OSEAN) and sponsored by the City of Ottawa. It is free to attend.
