Hours of Operation:

Due to the need to close promptly at noon, large loads of donations may not be accepted after 11:45am.
The WSWMD Swap Shop exists to provide an outlet for materials that are still usable, but for which there is no traditional re-use program, such as a thrift store or consignment shop.
We ask that everyone try to support the local community outlets (thrift stores, flea markets, non-profit agencies, consignment shops) before bringing materials to the WSWMD Swap Shop.
Anyone is welcome to bring materials or to take materials. It is not necessary to do both. Items have to be in working order. Dealers are discouraged from using the Swap Program to stock their inventories.
Unacceptable Swap Shop Items
These are examples of items WE CANNOT ACCEPT. At times there may be additional items we cannot accept due to space or other considerations. Though NOT ACCEPTED at the Swap Shop, all of the items listed below can be brought to the WSWMD Convenience Center for a fee.
- Appliances: eg refrigerators, cook stoves, washers, dryers, air conditioners
- Upholstered furniture
- Mattresses

Materials Accepted at Swap Shop
The Swap Shop volunteers will decide whether or not the material presented may be accepted as the WSWMD does not want the Swap Shop to become a free dumping ground. Items must be in working condition. This list will be updated from time to time, so call to check if you have something questionable to bring in. (During winter hours, there may be stricter limits on items due to space considerations.)
