The redeemable can shed is next to the swap shop and same hours at the Swap Shop. Please check if open, as area is closed during inclement weather or if there is a salt delivery- town needs to keep our roads safe!  #newcanaan

From David: I have been a regular “customer” of th From David: I have been a regular “customer” of the Swap Shop since my wife and I moved from Los Angeles to our antique home in Connecticut two years ago. Anyone who owns an old house knows that constant repair and maintenance come with the territory, and that a well-stocked garage full of tools, supplies, and landscaping equipment quickly becomes essential. The Swap Shop—organized into thoughtful sections such as artwork, lighting, books, furniture, kitchen items, sports equipment, and building supplies—has been an invaluable resource. When we arrived back here, my garage was nearly empty and I was ill-equipped to tackle the many projects ahead. Thanks to the Swap Shop’s building section, I’ve been able to acquire ladders, hammers, boxes of hardware, a wheelbarrow, electrical supplies, shelving, work lamps, an air compressor, gardening tools, and much more. The Swap Shop had only recently opened when we arrived, but word traveled fast, and it has more than lived up to its reputation.
Just as important, we are happy to be contributors as well as beneficiaries. As our children move out and we continue to settle into our new home, we’ve brought chairs, tables, books, and kitchen items to the Swap Shop, knowing they will be put to good use by others in town. We now make it a habit to stop by every time we visit the transfer station, both to share what we no longer need and to see what new “treasures” might be waiting.
 
The Swap Shop is more than a place to exchange goods—it’s a reflection of New Canaan's generosity, practical sustainability, and the friendly stewardship of the staff who make it all work. Our sincere thanks to the town for supporting this remarkable resource, and to the dedicated staff whose kindness, good nature, and care make the Swap Shop such a success. #newcanaan #newcanaanct
