Trash to Treasure Swap This Weekend
Posted: 5/14/2012
Dear Neighbor,
Don't forget this weekend is the popular "Trash to Treasure Swap." Sponsored by my office, the 49th Ward Green Corps, The Rogers Park Business Alliance, and the Clark/Morse/Glenwood SSA, the "Trash to Treasure Swap" gives you an opportunity to clean out your attic, basement or storage locker of unwanted items. Instead of throwing those items in the garbage to be taken to a landfill, bring them to the Swap where someone else may find use for them. In the meantime, you might find an item or two at the Swap that you could use back home.
