The Rescue Project
Cleaning out the closet? Instead of dumping your old clothes into the bin, bring them to 313@somerset as the mall pairs up with Swapaholic for The Rescue Project. The sustainable event is split into two phases where you can choose to declutter and/or refresh, and ultimately, rescue pre-loved items from reaching Semakau landfill. From March 26 to April 4, give your pre-loved threads a new lease of life by dropping them off at the Declutter Collection Drive on level two. If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe – the sustainable way – rescue a bagful of pre-owned gems that you can rewear, repair or repurpose on April 17 and 18.
