The City of Burbank is celebrating Earth Day in a new and exciting way with the launch of its first-ever Share Fair—a one-of-a-kind community “shopping” event where everything is completely free!
Hosted by the Burbank Recycle Center, the Share Fair will take place during the City of Burbank’s Earth Day celebration, “Petal Party in the Park,” on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ralph Foy Park (3211 W. Victory Blvd.).
What Is the Share Fair?
It’s simple: bring something, take something! The Share Fair encourages residents to reduce waste by donating gently used household items they no longer need—and in return, they can “shop” for free items donated by others. You do not need to donate items in order to participate in the Share Fair, and while it may feel like shopping, no money will be exchanged—just a community-driven effort to reuse, recycle, and give back.
Donations Wanted!
Burbank residents are encouraged to drop off donations the day before the event at the location below.
