GrowNYC Stop ‘N’ Swap (Red Hook)

New Yorkers looking to reduce, reuse, and save money this year are invited to participate in Stop ‘N’ Swap®, a free community reuse event organized by local non-profit GrowNYC. The average NYC household discards about 2,000 pounds of waste a year. By reusing through events like Stop ‘N’ Swap, NYC residents can take part in diverting over 40 million pounds of material from the landfill every year. Take a break from shopping, support a cleaner future, and join the ever-growing reuse community!

The public is invited to bring clean, portable, reusable items to share with those who can use them. No one is required to bring something to take something — you can simply show up with a bag and see what’s free for the taking. Books, toys, fashionable clothing, housewares, and electronics are just some of the offerings. Furniture and other large items are not accepted at the swap. Anything leftover at the end of the day is donated or recycled.

Face coverings encouraged for attendees. Event is rain or shine, but subject to cancelation due to extreme weather.
