Be part of Sydney’s biggest celebration of toy swapping and reuse! The Sydney Toy Swap is a citywide initiative by Joy of Giving, promoting sustainability, circularity, and the joy of sharing through community toy swap events.

Our Inner West Toy Swap is your local chance to take part - a fun, free and meaningful way for families to connect, give pre-loved toys a second life, and take home something new-to-you.

What to expect:

Bring along any toys, games, and books as long as they are in working condition for reuse. Please check each item and have them clean prior to the day.
Learn about the importance of sustainability and reusing items.
Connect with like-minded individuals who care about our community and environment.
Have fun while making a positive impact!

Simple rules to follow:

Bring some toys or books to swap that should not be more than a bagful
Ask yourself: Is this item good enough for my friend or another kid?
Due to safety concerns, you must check that all battery-operated items (toys, games and books) are in working condition and replace their batteries when necessary. Battery-operated toys should have battery cases secured by screws or other means to prevent children from prying them open.
We may refuse any items that are not in the desired condition, and you must remove them from the premises.
Don't miss this chance to connect, learn, and contribute. Let's make a difference together!

FAQs:

What happens if I have more toys in great working condition?

What happens if I have broken toys?

Unfortunately, we have limited options for broken toys.

If there are items that cannot be recycled, please contact your local council to inquire about disposal options.
