Clothing Swap and Mending Lab

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Right!

A program by Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection

A Mending Lab is a creative, hands-on space where attendees can learn how to repair their clothing or textiles instead of discarding them. By fixing zippers, patching holes, and reinforcing seams, we help extend the useful life of garments, reduce waste, and promote sustainable living.

Attendees can also participate in our clothing swap by bringing any unwanted clothing in dignity condition that has been laundered. After the swap, all remaining clothing will be donated to a local charitable organization.
