What's a "FreeMeet"? It's our way of helping to reduce
New York's waste and promote reuse with a day of
giving (and getting). Bring your usable, but unwanted goods*
and come see what's being given away.
Leftover items will be donated to local charities to the extent possible. Thanks to Build It Green! for providing transportation services!
*please limit items to those which can easily be carried away by hand, in a tote bag, or with a grocery cart. No furniture or other large items please! All items must be free, legal and appropriate for all ages.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early Drop-Offs: Items will be accepted the
night before the event, Friday, June 23, from
6pm-10pm, at Habana Outpost. You can also
bring items with you the day of the event
(come early to make sure they go!).
You don't need to give anything to take anything.

or 2,3,4,5,B,D,M,N,Q,R to Atlantic and G to Fulton
Check the MTA Weekend Advisory before you go.

What some satisfied “shoppers” have said about our FreeMeets:
“It was great to see my stuff walk away with people.”
“Great opportunity to find office supplies for Eco Non-profit!”
“Great stuff! Let’s do it more often!”
“I loved it. It’s the right way to handle the situation of excess material belongings.”
“Best city find ever. Proof that wandering the city streets is not a fruitless prospect.”
“Wish it happened every weekend.”
“Thanks so much! - From a single mom and 13-year old daughter about to go to camp (needed clothing).”
“I explained why we came, to gather up kid's jeans and sweaters appropriate for back to school [because] many parents spend grocery and rent money for back to school shopping…I ended up with a "committee" of helpers, and … we made it halfway to our goal of 100 pairs of jeans…! Thanks to the Volunteers…we are people who striveto make our world a better place.”
