SWOP SHOP COMMUNITY
A number of Recycle Swop Shops have already sprung up across South Africa to form a network of projects that can potentially share ideas, experiences, challenges and successes. As a family with a common focus, we can achieve more by working together. Sometimes a word of encouragement from someone who understands means a great deal. So please browse the list of existing Swop Shops to see who you can connect to, assist or get support and encouragement from.
Become part of a counry-wide RSS community on Facebook, consisting of everyone involved in RSS projects in South Africa! Join the group for the easiest way to connect and communicate with others involved around the country.
Details of known Recycle Swop Shops can be found below. Please contact us if you or you know someone to be added to this list.
