Marlow Swap Shop

The Marlow Recycling Center offers a Swap Shop for residents of Marlow and Washington/Ashuelot Pond Road in Washington. Residents are encouraged to shop for and drop off items that are clean, useable and in working condition. Because the Swap Shop is a community effort, all items to be dropped off must be approved by the on-duty attendant. Users of the Swap Shop are expected to help keep it neat and tidy.

Please note that clothing is not accepted. Disposal fees must still be paid on relevant items regardless of whether or not they are being placed in the Swap Shop. This covers the Town's cost of disposal, should the item not find a home within a reasonable time frame.

Covid-19 Update:  Due to the need for social distancing, The Swap Shop is temporarily closed.
