The Great Clothing Exchange (Adults, Teens and Kids)

Next date: Sunday, 15 March 2026 | 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Sunday 15 March 2026
10am - 12.30pm
Monash Civic Centre
293 Springvale Road, Glen Waverley

We’re hosting a new mega swap event for kids, teens and adults.

This is a FREE ticketed event where attendees can exchange their good quality pre-loved clothing items for the same amount of pre-loved items, while also enjoying some fun textile and sustainability activities.

Reusing clothing means we are keeping these items in circularity, out of landfill. Let’s do our part and help create a more sustainable Monash!

Parking

2-hour and 4-hour FREE parking is now available at the newly opened Bogong Car Park. Check which level restrictions apply before parking.

2-hour parking is available surrounding streets: Marriott Parade, Southdown Avenue, and parts of Kingsway.

Left over clothing from each exchange will be donated to our event partners who will ensure the items are kept in circularity and packaged up to support some of our community’s most vulnerable.

With over 300,000 tonnes of clothing going to landfill or exported each year, participating in a clothing exchange supports the principles of a circular economy to eliminate waste and pollution and circulate products and materials at their highest value.
