In-Store Trade-Ins

You can bring your clean, lightly-used outdoor gear directly to our store.

Live near Peterborough? Skip the shipping.

We accept gently used outdoor clothing, footwear and gear from great brands—stuff that’s built to last, still in good condition, and ready for its next adventure.

How It Works

Prep your gear

Prep your gear

We only take gear that is clean and in good condition, from great outdoor brands. Before you send your gear:

  1. Check the brands & categories we accept.
  2. Empty Pockets: Remove all personal items from pockets and compartments.
  3. Clean Thoroughly: Wash or clean your gear following the manufacturer's instructions. Use unscented detergent when applicable. Tip: If it’s been in storage, give it a fresh wash—even if you cleaned it last season.
  4. Inspect for Wear: Examine your gear for any signs of wear. Refer to our Gear Inspection Guide for guidelines.
Bring it in

Bring it in

Head to the Wild Again trade-in desk near the back of the store. We’ll assess most gear on the spot—or you can leave it, and we’ll follow up with your credit.

* Large hauls or gear that needs setup (like tents, pads, or stoves) may take a few extra days to assess.

Get credit, go shopping

Get credit, go shopping

If your gear is accepted, you'll receive in-store credit, which can be used immediately to shop for both new and used gear, or donated to the ComPassion Project.

Not Local?

You can also send in your gear from anywhere in Canada.
