all day	Swap table A SWAP TABLE is the latest way to update your wardrobe or cupboard without buying new things. A swap table takes things you have finished with and puts them back into circulation. By passing on your clothes, accessories or equipment to others, you are diverting materials from landfill and thus conserving resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Reusing a product, rather than buying a new one, reduces demand for water, energy and raw materials, reducing impact on the environment. • All items swapped must be in good condition. • Bring one item and take one item (a bag of lemons or other produce = 1 item) • Bring up to 20 items per person • Items must be able to be carried, so nothing too bulky please • The system is going to be an honesty one, so please ensure you honour this so that everyone can have a chance at getting something ‘new’ Acceptable Items: • Clothing • Belts, bags, shoes • Jewellery • Cookbooks & novels • Kids toys • CDs or DVDs • Sports gear Items that will not be accepted: • Electrical goods • Electronic goods (no computers, phones, dvd players etc) • Bulky goods • Broken goods • Items not in good condition
