Melrose Swap Day, Saturday October 11, 2025 from 8am – 12pm*
*Donation drop off ENDS PROMPTLY at 11am
NEW LOCATION THIS YEAR: Melrose High School parking lot, enter on Melrose Street.
EVERYTHING IS FREE! You do not have to bring something to take something! Or take something if dropping off. Swap-Day-Flyer.pdf
To celebrate spooky season, we’ve added a Halloween costume mini shop featuring swap-day donations of costumes and accessories for kids and adults.
ZWM needs extra people-power this year to run the event. We’re calling on the community to help make Swap Day a success.
What volunteers will do: event setup, move items from the drop-off area to tables, organize items on tables, and cleanup after the swap closes. The swap is like a fun, busy pop-up store with constantly changing inventory. Swap volunteers are welcome to take items as well.
> TO SIGN UP, CLICK HERE. Volunteers can choose a specific job or a general “swap staff” shift. When signing up to volunteer, please select each time slot and activity you’re interested in. Shorter and longer shifts are available, and pitching in for multiple time slots (like a late morning shift plus cleanup) is greatly appreciated.
Come for a couple of hours or stay for the whole event!
Thank you, Zero Waste Melrose
