Re-Spook, Re-Scare, Re-Wear! The National Retail Federation reports that more than 35 million costumes end up in landfills each year in the United States. To contribute to a more sustainable future, we are excited to introduce Bourne Rec's first ever Halloween Costume Swap!
During the month of November, and then again next September, the Rec Department will be accepting donations of gently used costumes and accessories and providing participants of next year's Swap with something new-to-you, all while reducing waste and supporting our planet. Let’s do our part to make Halloween not only a memorable family tradition but also mindful of our environment. Together, we can make a difference one costume at a time! Costume donations must be clean, and free of tears or stains (unless part of the costume).
Costumes and accessories may be dropped off to the office Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:30am-4:30pm, or after hours in the donation box outside the Rec Office.
The costume swap is tentatively scheduled Wednesday, October 1, 2025 from 5:30pm-7:00pm.
