About the Event
The Outdoor Gear Swap invites community members to exchange gently used recreational items through a free event hosted by the Washington County Environmental Center. From camping gear to sports equipment, this swap helps extend the life of outdoor items while making them accessible to others in the community.
Taking place at both Environmental Center locations, the event encourages reuse and supports an active, sustainable lifestyle. Donations are collected ahead of time, and any remaining items are passed along to local organizations.

Sustainable Stillwater MN proudly promotes swap events like this because they embody the principles of reuse, waste reduction, and community connection. By exchanging items instead of discarding them, these events help conserve resources, reduce landfill waste, and make sustainable choices more accessible and affordable. Swap events are a simple, tangible way for individuals to participate in a circular economy—keeping usable goods in circulation and strengthening community ties in the process.
