Bring clean, reusable, portable items such as clothing, house wares, games, books, & toys that you no longer need, and take home something new-to-you, free! You don’t have to bring something to take something. No furniture or large items, please.

The Office of Recycling Outreach and Education coordinates the Stop ‘N’ Swap in order to facilitate waste prevention and material reuse.  We have held 61 swaps so far, serving more than 14,000 New Yorkers. Their community “swaps” provide the perfect opportunity to find new homes for things you no longer need. By taking home items that you can use, you are also helping to prevent waste from production, packaging and transportation required to get new things.
