On September 22nd, the Town of Cortlandt is holding a Community Swap. Although a new name, this is their 3rd year holding this event. It is astounding to watch all of the items come in… and all of the items go out. Nothing goes to the landfill or incinerator. Instead, these items are enjoyed by new families in the community.
And you know what… the SWAP is fun! Everything is FREE to take home. Kids ride around on (almost) new 3-wheelers, or enjoy new toys and games. Adults walk away with handfuls of books to read, a new kitchen blender, or framed artwork for their walls.
The Town of Cortlandt Community Swap also features a “green fair”, reinforcing the importance of helping the environment. Residents have the opportunity to learn about energy efficiency and renewable energy for their homes, enjoy local foods, and sample organic spa products from local vendors.
