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 what’s free for the taking.
This event is good for our land and our wallets helping residents find items just before the holidays for free.
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.
Roosevelt Island is a mixed income, racially diverse waterfront community situated in the East River of New York City between Manhattan and Queens and is jurisdictionally part of Manhattan. The Roosevelt Island Tramway, which connects Roosevelt Island to the rest of Manhattan, has become the iconic symbol of Roosevelt Island to its residents.
The Purpose of this Blog is to provide accurate and timely information about Roosevelt Island as well as a forum for residents to express opinions and engage in a dialogue to improve our community.
