New Infant Products Exchange Center Open to the Public
Taipei’s first Infant Products Exchange Center is open for business! The facility is located on the third floor of Huashan Market (No.108, Sec.1, Zhongxiao E. Road).
Operated by the Health Growth Foundation, the facility is an effort by Department of Social Welfare (DOSW) to recycle resources while helping parents reduce child-rearing expenses and get rid of outgrown baby or kid items such as toys and illustration books.
The center, comprising a family education exhibition area and a game area, aims to serve families with children from 0 to 6 years old.
Parents can bring their kids to the family education exhibition area to learn about the value of recycled products through hands-on activities. The game area, on the other hand, features bimonthly-themed games and DIY sessions. Kids will be encouraged to refurbish donated toys with their own creativity.
Before the opening of the center, the Health Growth Foundation has conducted events to collect secondhand kids’ products at family halls, MRT station plazas, and other locations. In the future, district family halls across the city will also accept donations of outgrown children’s items on behalf of the center.
The Infant Products Exchange Center is open 9:30 AM to 5 PM every Tuesday through Sunday. To access the services, please visit the website of the facility (http://www.tcprc.org.tw) to register as a member. Walk-in registration is also available.
