Material Exchange Directory: Applications Now Open!

The City is accepting applications for its new Material Exchange Directory, a user‑friendly online resource that will showcase local programs helping Torontonians sell, buy donate or trade materials instead of sending them to landfill.  Launching later in 2026, the directory will help residents, community groups and businesses find local organizations that support the reuse, resale or donation of excess goods and materials, including household items, equipment and building materials.

Who can participate in the Material Exchange Directory? 

Eligible operators include non-for-profit or for-profit organizations that manage a material exchange program that serves Toronto, such as an online platform for trading or donating items, or a community swap event.
