Recycle Swap Shop initiative

Members of the Transition Town Hastings Team have accomplished another of their goals by bringing the Swap Shop initiative here to the town. A brilliant idea where we can pass on the things we no longer want to other people who see our discarded items as discovered treasure – and we can search for things we do need/want.

Here’s Transition Town’s description of how it works and details of when and where:

Recycle Swap Shop: How it works

· You can bring items to the hall and leave them there for others to take away.

· You can look for items you’d like to take away.

· You are welcome to only bring stuff – or only take stuff.

· Leftovers will be disposed of through Freegle, charity shops or recycling.

· No charge for the event, athough donations are welcome!

· Please bring things early – and certainly before 11am

What you can bring

· All items MUST be 100% free and from domestic (not commercial) sources

· If you have bulky items, like large furniture, then please don’t bring these to the Swap Shop. Instead, a notice board will be provided for you to leave a description of your item, along with a contact email address or phone number.

· Don’t bring anything illegal or dangerous (e.g. sharp knives, weapons, etc.)

· No pets or livestock

· No rubbish. Please don’t bring anything that really is no good to anyone

· No mains electrical items
