Burlington Township hosting Free Exchange event

Free exchange will coincide with the township’s Cleanup Day on April 13.

Residents of Burlington Township are invited to a Free Exchange event at the east/west soccer field at the Green Acres Park on Old York Road on Cleanup Day, April 13.

Residents can bring items of value they no longer use and want to give away, rummage through the items brought by others and take what they want for free. The event is like a community garage sale, except all of the items are free. The primary goal of the event is to repurpose unused items that might otherwise be thrown away.
