ABC Swap: (Anything But Clothes) Swap!

What is an ABC Swap?

It's a community stuff swap where we'll swap Anything But Clothes! This is a community event aimed at reducing waste. You can dispose of unwanted items and leave with something new-to-you! Show up with items (or empty-handed) and take whatever you want!

What can I bring?

Anything but clothes! Think kitchen gadgets, electronics, decor, pet supplies, toys, books, and more! Anyone is welcome! Please be respectful of neighbors and only bring items you would proudly gift to a friend. Bring a box or bag of gently used or new items that you'd like to gift. No dumping!

What shouldn't I bring?

Please do not bring any damaged, broken, expired, unhygienic, or soiled items. Also avoid items that would be difficult to transport like a mattress.
