By reusing things we cut down on the amount of waste that goes into landfill and reduce the amount of resources that we use in manufacturing of new products. And it saves money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you offer is entirely up to you, as long as it\u2019s legal, not hazardous or not a pet. Examples include: books, DVDs and CDs, kitchenware, pictures, tools, gardening items, curtains and other soft furnishings, children\u2019s toys and baby items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wellingborough Eco Group has set up Wellingborough Swap Shop as a Facebook group. It is set up as a selling group so posts can be shared to other groups and Facebook Marketplace and will be managed by us as part of the One Wellingborough Plus project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/wellingboroughswapshop\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/wellingboroughswapshop<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will also be hosting Swap Shops at the Victoria Centre and at other local venues in the near future and will update you soon about these events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing Wellingborough Swap Shop, it&#8217;s a free and local exchange where you can pass on things you no longer want, in exchange for something you need.
