Swap Days


For details of the regular Rock Ferry Swap Day (every first Friday of the month), see entries, above.

What is a swap day?

This is a way of reusing goods that would otherwise end up in landfill. Perhaps the best way to imagine it is to think of a massive jumble sale without any money changing hands.

Bring goods ......Take goods.........or both!

Bring along - toys, books, videos, DVDs, sports equipment, furniture, curtains, kitchen utensils, gardening tools - and anything good quality which you no longer need and might be useful to someone else.

Take away anything you or your family can use at home ! FREE !!

We can't accept electrical goods or furniture without the current fire certificate labels, or vast amounts of clothing, but otherwise virtually anything !

There will normally be a van and driver available to collect large items from addresses on the day. This needs to be booked in advance.
