Stop 'N' Swap®

Stay in touch! Sign up for our monthly Community Newsletter or volunteer for GrowNYC through the volunteer page.

While we may not be planning events to your neighborhood, there are still a variety of resources for you to take advantage of! Take a look below for waste stream alternatives for reuse and recycling:

Clothing + Textiles

• GrowNYC Greenmarket clothing collections run by Wearable Collections will continue at its usual locations and recently opened at more locations. Please check the schedule on our website for up-to-date information on drop-off locations, collection times, and accepted materials. 

• ReFashionNYC is a convenient and free textile donation and recycling service available for NYC residential and commercial buildings, schools, and nonprofit institutions. 

Electronics
