Fabulous bling from a Greencycle Swap! |

Have lots of terrific CLOTHES, SHOES, BOOKS, & TOYS taking up space but no longer giving you joy? Bring them to Town Square BK's highly anticipated Greencycle "Spring-Cleaning" Swap on Saturday, May 10th, 2025.
Town Square is excited to partner with CM Jennifer Gutiérrez and El Puente to hold this Swap at MS 50 in Williamsburg. We've also partnered with LES Ecology Center to accept useable ELECTRONICS! You can drop off your nonworking e-waste at the Ecology Center's truck outside the school and bring working electronics inside to swap.
Let's recycle, reuse and reduce! Did you know that every Greencycle Swap saves +1,500 pounds of perfectly good stuff from our landfills?!!! Hoot hoot!

SIMPLE RULES:
- RSVP here: https://forms.gle/8Y2nRofES52Guh2Z9
- ONLY cleaned, gently used, working and useable items please.
- NO need to bring things to take things.
- ONLY clothes, shoes, books & toys - and for this swap, we'll accept electronics. We will not accept household items, baby gear, furniture, etc.
- 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 local homeless shelters and other non-profits to help neighbors truly in need.

We are writing to ask you to kindly make a donation of any amount to Town Square. All donations are tax-deductible. No amount is too small (or too big)! We gratefully thank you in advance.
