Earth Day Clothing Swap

Leslie Science & Nature Center | April 19 | 12:00-4:30

A²ZERO will be hosting a special pop-up clothing swap at the Ann Arbor Earth Day Festival in the Energy House at Leslie Science and Nature Center. Swaps are an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe, without contributing to the massive climate impact of the fashion industry by buying new. You can also gift your gently used clothing to give them a second life and help build community around reuse.

How it works: Each person can bring up to 10 items of clothing in good condition (no rips, holes, stains or unwashed items please!). Accessories such as bags, jewelry, and belts are also welcome. You can take clothing without bringing anything, or bring clothing without taking anything.

What is a Swap Day?

Swap days are opportunities for community members to come together and offer items for free and exchange goods. Think clothes, books, decor, small appliances, etc. It's a perfect way to give your unwanted items a new home, instead of sending them to the landfill - and a great way to find that item you've been looking for, without having to buy it new! Smaller items not taken on swap days will be picked up by City volunteers as a donation to social-services agencies and thrift shops (please see the donation guidelines below). Our swap days are typically organized within neighborhoods, with residents of the neighborhood able to leave items in their yards, and all Ann Arbor residents welcome to peruse those items and take what they want.
