Join the City for our first annual clothing swap on July 28 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. before the Panatics Steelband concert! We are pairing the swap with our first clothing and textile recycling event to help you clean out your full closet. Help keep clothes out of the landfill by bringing items that no longer give you joy to the event and taking home some “new to you” finds!
You do not need to bring items to take items home from the swap
Please ensure all items are washed and dry
Items leftover after the swap will be either donated to community partners or recycled through Retold Recycling
Adult and children outerwear, tops and bottoms as well as reusable bags
Items made with leather/pleather or accessories such as purses, hats, belts and shoes if they are in donatable condition
Items made with leather/pleather or accessories such as purses, hats, belts and shoes, hats, belts and shoes that are not in donatable condition
Items stained with chemicals substances, glue, wax, or paint
Textiles coated with plastic
Items with stuffing like pillows or comforters
We will be accepting all fabric and textiles that are not in a donatable condition for recycling. Please bag and label items for recycling as “For Recycling”
Clothing and other textiles can be recycled but aren’t accepted in the curbside recycling cart, resulting in many items being landfilled. Clear out your old towels, linens, clothes and other textiles that are not in donatable condition and bring them to Fridley City Hall during the drop off period to be recycled for no cost through Retold Recycling. All textiles of all sizes are accepted (even scraps!) except for the items listed as “not accepted” for the clothing swap. Help us reach our goal of keeping 1,000 pounds of textiles out of the landfill.
Items can be dropped off for the swap or recycling at the drop boxes in the City Hall lobby on either July 27 or July 28 at Fridley City Hall (7071 University Ave NE) from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. or brought to the swap.
Please place all items to be recycled in bags labeled “For Recycling”.
Reuse is always your best option for good-quality textiles. If your item is not in good condition, the Coon Rapids Recycling Center accepts textiles for recycling year-round.
