Spring into Circularity- Zero Waste Share Fair
Swap Out the Old - Swap In the New!
IATSE's Interlocal Green Committees are hosting their first Zero Waste Share Fair for fellow IATSE members to encourage a circular approach to work and life. Through exchanging, donating, repairing, and recycling, we’re keeping items out of the landfill and giving them a second chance, all while learning about waste reduction and building community.
Donations Encouraged!
Have clothes that you no longer wear? Too many books and things taking up space on your shelves? Got plant clippings to spare? Have some electronics or small appliances that need repair? Not sure what is and isn't recyclable? This event is for you!
Plant Swap
Bring your extra plants, cuttings, & seeds and trade with fellow green thumbs.
Simply label your (pest-free) plants. And if they need some TLC, not to worry, we can do some re-potting & help bring them back to life.
