Watford Council & Veolia Clothes Swap

Join us for a fabulous Clothes Swap on Saturday 19 September 2026 during Recycle Week (14 - 20 September 2026). 

This exciting celebration of recycling is the perfect opportunity to refresh your wardrobe while promoting sustainable fashion.Bring your pre-loved clothing items that you no longer wear and swap them for new-to-you pieces! Whether it's stylish tops, trendy jeans, or accessories, you’ll find something to love while giving your old clothes a new lease on life.

Taking part is simple! Come to Watford Palace Theatre from 10am - 11am, and you’ll be able to donate up to 10 unwanted, adult-sized, good quality clothes which will earn you one token per item. 

From 11am - 12pm, you can come back and exchange your tokens for new items. 

Not only will you be reducing textile waste, but you'll also enjoy a fun day of fashion and community spirit. Plus, there will be tips on how to recycle clothes properly and make eco-friendly choices in your wardrobe. 

The following items will not be accepted as part of the Clothes Swap event: 

• Accessories (including jewellery and bags)
• Nightwear
• Swimwear
• Underwear garments
• Children’s items and shoes
• Items that have shrunk, are stained or need repairing (e.g. missing buttons, broken zips, loose sequins or beading, rips, tears, fabric pulls or holes, bobbly bits, disintegrating seams or hems, lint or fluff)

Help us make a positive impact this National Recycling Week by participating in this sustainable event. 

Let's swap, recycle, and celebrate together!
