(Dearborn County, Ind.) - The Dearborn County Recycling Center hosts its 7th annual ReProm this spring.

Over 1,000 dresses are available. All are contemporary and are either new (with tags) or like-new.

Participants are asked to bring a formal dress (clean and in good condition) to exchange for a new or once-worn dress. Those without dresses to exchange are welcomed to make a monetary donation instead.

The formal dress exchange is not a need-based program, although the Dearborn County Recycling Center is a non-profit. It is open to everyone and is based on the principle that buying something to wear one time is extremely wasteful. The program saves money and reduces waste by reusing items that otherwise would only be used once.

The program is not exclusively for Dearborn County residents. It is open to everyone.

The ReProm shop is located at the Dearborn County Recycling Center and is open every Wednesday 3pm-6pm.

This year it will also be open March 23 – 30 9am-4pm, except Sunday.
