Take Off Your Clothes Montreal
Everyone has clothing in their closets and drawers which they no longer wear, never wore or avoid. Now you can be green – reduce and recyle them. The S.W.A.P. Team holds twice yearly events, a big one in July and a smaller one in the Fall, where you can trade clothing. Fashion designers also donate new clothing to the mix.
How it works: You bring gently worn clean male, female or children’s clothing, and you are given tickets valid for exchanges. There is no limit on swapping on a one-to-one basis. In a typical event over 4,000 items are swapped, and leftovers (3,000 or so) get donated to Fripe-Prix Renaissance Montreal.
