The City of Renton will host a one-day reuse event, to divert goods from citizens waste stream and make them available to neighbors and nonprofits for use.

The event is called “STOP AND SWAP – REUSE IT! RENTON,” and it’s from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, June 7, at Renton Memorial Stadium, south parking lot, 405 Logan Ave. N., Renton.

The community is invited to stop by whether they have something to drop off or not. The city encourages residents to bring their reusable, unwanted items to the event, instead of taking them to the dump. The event is being sponsored by Renton’s Solid Waste Utility to help residents swap items for free.

All items must be in good working order and staff has the right to refuse any item. No textiles or refrigerators will be accepted.
