Deschutes County is excited to announce its first-ever Drop It, Swap It event, scheduled for September 28, designed to promote sustainability and reduce waste in the community. The event, organized by Deschutes County Solid Waste, encourages residents to donate clean, lightly-used items instead of throwing them away. Participants will have the chance to exchange items, which not only helps to keep these goods out of landfills but also fosters community connections through sharing and reusing. This initiative aligns with broader environmental goals and highlights the importance of responsible consumption practices. Residents are encouraged to bring items that are in good condition, as the event aims to maximize the quality and usability of donated goods.

By participating in this event, community members can contribute to a more sustainable future while also finding new homes for items they no longer need. The Drop It, Swap It event is a reflection of Deschutes County's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. As the event approaches, anticipation builds for what promises to be a fulfilling and impactful day for the community.
