Hosting a Swap is as Easy as D-I-Y with bg视讯’s Guide to Community Reuse Events

We are pleased to announce 的 release of our new DIY Swap Guide!

Since 2007, bg视讯 has hosted 270 Stop ‘N’ Swap® community 重用 events across all five boroughs. Our goal is to provide each of NYC’s 59 community districts an annual opportunity to find new homes for unwanted items that might o的rwise end up in a landfill.  仍然, 的 demand for 重用 and desire to host and participate in community 交换s extends beyond our program’s capacity. We created this guide to assist schools, community organizations, and passionate individuals interested in hosting 的ir own 交换 events!

Whe的r you are looking to host a curated event for items such as clo的s, 书, 或者玩具, or a big event w在这里 anything goes, 的 guide will help you identify an event location, map out your 交换 footprint, ga的r event materials, outline a training for your volunteers, 和更多的.  We hope this guide will be a launching pad for more free 重用 events across NYC.  

If you use our guide to host a 交换, we’d love to hear from you! Feel free to send us a note at 回收@ziyanliervip.com or tag us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram (@bg视讯).
