NY1 VIDEO: A recent "Stop and Swap" event in Jackson Heights, Queens got New Yorkers to trade in new stuff without spending a dime, and to cut down the $300 million the city spends each year to ship garbage to other parts of the country. The next "Stop and Swap" event will be on Staten Island on April 21. For more information, visit www.grownyc.org/swap.
