In a collaboration with UChicago Hype, Dash Me is offering up another free clothing swap!

Why Swap?

Did you know that, according to the EPA, Americans throw away 68 lbs of clothing and textiles per person, per year? With over 300 million people in the US, that adds up to over 10 million tons of waste! Every one of us has clothes somewhere that we are not, cannot, or will never wear. Why let it collect dust? Instead of wasting, you can do your part to reduce waste in America. Swapping is a very eco-friendly way to get rid of clothes that you don’t wear. It’s also a great way to “shop”—much cheaper than the department store and you never know what gem you may score!

How does it work?

1. Go through your closet for items (clothes, shoes, jewelry, hats, etc) that you don’t or can’t wear. Items must be in a good condition and cleaned prior to swap.

2. Bring your items to the swap (maximum of 10 items because of limited space)

3. Your items will be inspected and organized by type and size and you will be given a card with the number that represents how many acceptable items you brought.

4. After an allotted time, all swappers present will be allowed to go through all items and select what they want. (you may take home as many items as you brought in)

5. All remaining items will be collected, recycled for the next swap, or donated to a charity.
