Join the Community Free Swap event!

Help your community by giving things you no longer need and connecting with one another. Help the environment by reusing things and keeping them out of the landfill.

This event is presented by Master Recycler, a community engagement volunteer corps focused on sustainable consumption, climate protection, environmental justice, repair, reuse, and recycling.

How it works
Drop off donations at the Open Signal parking lot from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. 

All items should be clean, gently used, and in working condition. Follow signs to drop off donations at the Open Signal parking lot entrance. Volunteers will accept donations and help you sort them onto tables. 

The giveaway will be from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. 

Take home items for yourself and your family. No donation required to receive items. All leftover items will be donated to local charitable organizations.
