Mark your calendar for this fun and environmental friendly event.

The Roosevelt Island Stop N Swap returns for a second year on Saturday November 9 from 12 to 3 PM at the Manhattan Park Theater Club (8 River Road)

GrowNYC and local partners Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC), Manhattan Park , iDig2Learn &the RI Girl Scouts will host the free Stop N Swap.

Roosevelt Islanders are invited to drop off good quality items such as clothing, toys, kitchen items, flatscreen televisions even packaged food that has not expired, and then take home good quality items that are new-to-you” rather than adding waste to the landfill or clogging up local building systems like our underground AVAC waste tube system.

No one is required to bring something to take something you can simply show up with a bag and see whats free for the taking.

This event is good for our land and our wallets helping residents find items just before the holidays for free.

iDig2Learn founder Christina Delfico reports

Fun Fact: last year, 2018, 4800 pounds of good quality items were dropped in 3 hours & nearly 70% went right back to the community the remaining when to Goodwill.

Ms Delfico and Grow NYC’s Victoria Dearborn describe the very successful 2018 Roosevelt Island Stop N Swap

and our local Girl Scouts encourage us all

to recycle at the Roosevelt Island Stop N Swap.

You’ll be glad to get rid of things you no longer use, may find some good new stuff and help the environment by keeping waste out of landfills.
