4th Annual SWAP & DONATION PICK-UP
It’s back! Time to kick off your spring cleaning and celebrate Earth Day!
Promote reducing, recycling, & reusing items with your neighbors and donate gently used household goods and/or furniture to two local charitable organizations serving those in need: Agrace HospiceCare & Goodwill of South Central Wisconsin.
Please note: The Swap & Donation Pick-Up event is a private (non-public) event for only Village of Shorewood Hills residents + charitable partners Agrace and Goodwill.
1. A SWAP (10:00am-12:00pm)
Beginning at 10:00am, place unwanted (free to take) household goods & items at the end of your driveway for your neighbors to peruse and provide a new home for. From 10:00am-12:00pm, search around your neighbors’ curbsides for free new treasures to bring home. This is similar to a neighborhood garage sale but without the exchange of money - instead, to promote reducing, reusing, and recycling within our Village. No registration is required to participate. The morning SWAP event is also a good opportunity to set out your unwanted items that are ineligible for the afternoon donation pick-up, including baby & infant items such as swings/walkers/cribs/high chairs/car seats/etc, exercise equipment of any size, bed items such as headboards/footboards/bed frames, sofa sleepers, TVs, and entertainment centers.
