Hennepin County Swap-It Events

Join Hennepin County Swap-It events to give and receive items for free, reduce waste, and build community—no registration needed!

At a Swap-It event you can bring gently used items you no longer need and take home stuff you can use. In a nutshell, you can Swap It—for free.

And you don’t have to bring anything to the swap in order to take something home. EVERYONE is welcome to participate. The goal of the events is to create a fun and sustainable way to reduce waste, share resources and support local reuse efforts while building community at the same time.

When gathering items to brind to the swap, make sure they are clean and in good working condition. Each swap will have a specific list of what is and is not accepted. They need to adhere to the theme of the event!

No registration is required and kids are welcome.
