Free Costume Swap Event: Leave a Costume, Take a Costume, Make a Craft!
Scary fact: Over 80% of costumes end up in landfills. That is why the City of Asheville Sanitation and Buncombe County Solid Waste are partnering to host a costume swap event on Saturday, Oct. 17, from noon to 4 p.m. at Stephens-Lee Community Center. This upcoming Halloween, we can all reduce waste and enjoy the scary holiday by reusing costumes and finding creative ways to add an eerie atmosphere to the season.
The Costume Swap & Creative Use Workshop will feature free costumes, recycling resources, and a Creature Lab from ReMix It, where participants can create their own "monster" using recycled materials.
Do you have old costumes you would like to give new life to? Drop them off during normal operating hours on donation collection dates leading up to the swap event.
By donating, reusing, and being creative, we can reduce costume waste, keeping the scary out of our landfill.
