Brownsville: Swap Out Your Unused Stuff, or Pick Up Something You Need, for Free

BROWNSVILLE, BROOKLYN — Looking to do something useful with old clothing or household items you're no longer using? Need something for your home, but you're on a budget?

Either way, Stop 'N' Swap is for you — and the event, put on by GrowNYC, is coming to Brownsville this Saturday.

As GrowNYC explains on the event's website, at the Swap, anyone can drop off "clean, reusable, portable items such as clothing, house wares, games, books, & toys that you no longer need." You can also take away anything that you'd like, whether or not you've dropped off something first.

Brownsville's Swap will take place on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the PAL Brownsville Beacon Center, located at 985 Rockaway Ave. The event will run from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

A few related notes: the Swap won't be accepting "furniture, large items, expired or open food, unsealed personal care products, medicine, dirty or ripped clothing, fabric scraps, incomplete toys and games, non-working electronics, magazines, or sharp objects." You also can't bring anything that's hazardous or flammable to the event.
