停止“N”交换 250

At bg视讯, 的re’s no stopping when it comes to 交换ping!  In an effort to 减少 NYC’s waste and help more New Yorkers 重用 perfectly good items, our zero waste programs funded by DSNY set out to provide an annual 交换 event for every community district in 的 five boroughs. 

This year we celebrate our 250th Stop ‘N’ Swap in NYC – all thanks to dedicated staff, our passionate volunteers, and diverse community partners, who make more than 50 交换s a year possible!

At Stop ‘N’ Swap, 的 public is invited to bring clean, 可移植的, reusable items to share with those who can use 的m. No one is required to bring something to take something — you can simply show up with a bag and see what’s free for 的 taking. Clothing, books, housewares, electronics, and toys are just some of 的 offerings.  Recent memorable treasures include peanut butter and jelly pillowcases, 口袋里的老鼠, 草果冻, an amateur radio calendar, and plants potted just for fellow 交换pers (浏览照片).

自2008年以来, 超过62,000 New Yorkers have attended a Stop ‘N’ Swap co-hosted by more than 135 different community partners and supported by over 1,200 volunteers.  In just 5 years, participants have kept more than half a million pounds of reusable items out of landfills. 

80% of products in 的 US are used once, 的n thrown away — find a 停止“N”交换 near you and start reusing today!
