Greencycle "Spring-Cleaning" Swap

Saturday, April 13th | 12-3 PM

JEMS 126 (indoors), 424 Leonard Street (Bayard Street entrance), Williamsburg, Brooklyn

 

RED ALERT! As per our homeless shelter partners' wishes, Greencycle Swap will no longer accept baby gear, bicycles, electronics, or household items. 

 

* * *

Join Town Square BK, JEMS 126, and School of Rock Williamsburg to recycle, reuse, and reduce!

Have lots of terrific stuff taking up space but no longer giving you joy? Bring them to Town Square BK's popular Greencycle "Spring-Cleaning" Swap on Saturday, April 13th, 2024.

 

Join us to recycle, reuse and reduce! Drop off your cleaned and useable CLOTHES, SHOES, BOOKS, TOYS, BABY GEAR, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, ELECTRONICS, ETC. - and browse the selection. Every Greencycle Swap saves +1,500 pounds of perfectly good stuff from our landfills. Woo hoo!

 

Simple Rules
• ONLY clean, gently used, working and useable items please.
• NO need to bring things to take things.
• NO baby gear, cribs, household items, electronics, furniture, mattresses, TVs, and over-sized items.
• Out of consideration for others, we may limit folks to 1 bag or the number of bags that you've brought to donate to the swap.
• We do not allow taking donated items to resell. Why? Because all remaining items are donated to other non-profits to help neighbors truly in need.

 

Suggested donation: $10 a family to help cover costs and support local Scouts units. Town Square is a qualified 501(c)(3) not‐for‐profit institution. Your donation will be TAX DEDUCTIBLE to the full extent of the law. For more info, please contact Town Square at 347.559.1410 or hello@townsquarebk.org. We gratefully thank our partners and sponsors: NYC CM Lincoln Restler; NYC CM Jennifer Gutiérrez; BBP Antonio Reynoso; truly awesome Brooklyn Lucky Pack 7 and Boy Scouts Troop 26; NYC DYCD; NYPD 94th Precinct; Home Life Services, and JEMS 126.

 

Since 2008, Town Square has been promoting environmental consciousness at the local level through our Greencycle Swaps. We firmly believe that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure! Please help our neighbors while benefiting our environment.
