Swap Shop Program
The Swap Shop at the Lakeville Transfer Station was created to divert usable goods and materials from the waste stream. Transfer Station sticker holders may drop off items with some useful life in them and pick something up that might be of use.
Although it is called a swap shop, residents do not need to drop an item off to take an item from the shop. Smooth operation of the Swap Shop requires help from the Lakeville community.
Hours of Operation
The Swap Shop is open year-round, during the regular hours of the Transfer Station.
Drop-Off
All items shall be dropped off in the facility and deemed acceptable by the attendant. All other items left outside of the building and/or not approved by the attendant shall be rejected and residents are required to take the item back with them.
