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.

Overloaded

If the Swap Shop is collecting more items than it can handle, the staff and attendant have the discretion of refusing items.

Acceptable Items

All items must be clean, dry, and in good, usable condition.

Non-Acceptable Items

Items Not Listed

The Transfer Station attendant will determine the acceptability of any item not specifically identified under the Acceptable or Non-Acceptable Items. The lists are subject to change.

The Decision of the Staff is Final
