Free Swap 'N' Drop Returns To Salem Common In June

SALEM, MA — One resident's old item can be another resident's free find at the Swap 'N' Drop set for Salem Common on June 10.

SalemRecycles will host the next event that encourages items to be reused rather than thrown in the trash from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. where residents can either drop off items for donation or search those items for something that they may be able to put to good use.

Items eligible for this event are women's, men's and children's clothing and accessories in good condition, and small household items in working condition. Computers and televisions cannot be accepted.

Those items that are not "swapped" will be collected by ReSupply for donation at the end of the day.

No damaged clothing or other items will be accepted at this event. The next full textile drive will take place on Nov. 18.

Those interested in volunteering at the event can contact Janelle Rolke at jrolke@salem or 978-619-5672. Volunteer shifts are from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. or 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
