Swap Box Strategic Diagram
When you no longer have a particular use for an item, there are a couple of options to dispose of it. The most common would be to dispose of it through the landfill waste stream. But what if that item still had unused potential? Another option would be to donate it to a second hand store, but the item may be funneled though various distribution channels taking time from getting into the hands of others. Yet another option that bypasses this is the concept of a Swap Box. Items placed within the Swap Box have the potential to be exchanged locally. Based on each Swap Box location, items and people move throughout the city in the thrill of the hunt.
As research has progressed, I came across a similar concept and name; The Swap Box Project
