Stop 'N' Swap

Following up on my post about the Really Really Free Market (RRFM) we have Stop 'N' Swap:


Community "swaps" provide the perfect opportunity to find new homes for things you no longer need. By taking home items that you can use, you are also helping to prevent waste from production,packaging and transportation required to get new things.

The Office of Recycling Outreach and Education coordinates the Stop 'N' Swap in the communities where we are working to improve recycling in order to facilitate waste prevention and material reuse.  We have held 8 swaps so far, serving more than 2,500 people.  
Go get yer swap on! The next one is scheduled for this Saturday, February 5th in the Bronx. But they are having them in all the boroughs. Click here for more details.

Really Really Free Market

Of all the free things I highlight here at the Straphanger's Guide to the Galaxy few are as free as this. The Really Really Free Market is just that: A free market. But this isn't anything dreamed up by Milton Friedman or Ayn Rand; this is the real deal!

Do you have some stuff you want to get rid of? Bring it to the Really Really Free Market (RRFM). See something you like at the RRFM? Grab it. It's all free. It's all wonderful.

The RRFM will be this Sunday at Judson Memorial Church, (55 Washington Square South) from 3 to 7pm.
