Thankyou to all swappers who made the Big Aussie Swap Party at Martin Place a great recycling success story.
This year, 700 people attended, registering over 1500 of their pre-loved gems for the swap party.
The Swap Party was co-hosted by the City of Sydney and Planet Ark to kick start National Recycling Week 2009.
Councils from Brisbane, Darwin, Perth, Sydney, Coffs Harbour, Parramatta and Wollongong took part in the swap and held simultaneous swap parties across Australia.
