How to get involved with GrowNYC

NEW YORK -- GrowNYC is a nonprofit organization that offers interactive environmental activities through which people can improve New York City. Volunteer opportunities include:

-Recycling events, such as hazardous waste and electronics collections. GrowNYC also helps with recycling at public events throughout the city.

-Stop 'N' Swap events. Stop 'N' Swaps collect clean, reusable items including clothing, books, toys, and housewares. People are also allowed to take items for free.
