Sponsored Post – Grow NYC Fourth Annual Roosevelt Island Free Stop N Swap Community Event Saturday November 12 – Bring Items You No Longer Need To Give Away, Take Something New Home With You, Reduce, Reuse And Save Money
New Yorkers looking to reduce, reuse, and save
money are invited to participate in GrowNYCs Stop N Swap program on Roosevelt Island, a
free community reuse event at the Roosevelt Island Older Adult Center. Rather than send
perfectly good items to a landfill, participants can bring reusable items to share with others,
including gently used books, toys, fashionable clothing, housewares, and electronics. We do not
accept furniture and other large items.
We love teaming up with GrowNYC for the Stop N Swap, says partner Christina Delfico,iDig2Learns founder.

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 3 million tons of refuse disposed of each year, keeping them out of landfills and incinerators, said Marcel Van Ooyen, GrowNYC President and CEO. In addition to the economic and environmental benefits, they also build community as New Yorkers come out and meet their neighbors.
Since 2007, GrowNYCs Stop N Swap program has developed a regular following among thrifty and environmentally conscious New Yorkers. GrowNYCs Zero Waste Programs are funded by the NYC Department of Sanitation. To learn more please visit Grow NYC.
