The Bushel Free Store is back! Starting at 10am on Sunday, March 1 (during our Clothing Swap), you can drop things off and take things away. What is this? At the free store, you don’t have to give to get. But if you’ve got stuff to give, bring it! We mean, specifically: your small-to-medium sized objects in good working condition, that stuff that hangs around because you can’t figure out what to do with it, because you know that it would be valuable to someone, just not you. The stuff you’d feel proud to give away.
Below you’ll find a loose, non-exhaustive list of categories we know will be popular. We will also have a bulletin board where larger, off-site items can be exchanged via note cards and thumb tacks and phone numbers and emails
Items (quantity within reason!) can be dropped off during the clothing swap on March 1 and can continue to be dropped off through the run of the store. You can drop off at Bushel whenever we are open or contact us to schedule a time, info@bushelcollective.org. Please do not drop things off outside our doors, and understand that we might not be able to accept certain items. Please email us if you have a question before dropping off. info@bushelcollective.org.

Sometimes people want to leave a donation at our swaps and free stores. This time, we’ll put a hat out to collect for local mutual aid and justice initiatives: Open Catskills, Catskills Agrarian Alliance, and more specifically, West Branch Commons.
