The City of Grande Prairie’s recent Drop & Swap helped keep more than 5,000 kilograms of clothes out of the landfill.
According to the city, more than 500 residents from around the community came together from October 1st to 3rd, giving those the chance to donate clothing that was new or gently-used to make sure that unneeded clothing can go to someone in need and not the landfill.
The approximate weight of clothes donated sits at 5,400.
Anything that was not claimed has been taken to the Goodwill in the city, and will be made available for purchase.
