Petition Asks Town to Reopen 'Home Exchange'

East Hampton Town residents should have the opportunity to pass on unwanted household items to people who can use them rather than just throwing them out, a new petition says.

"Please reopen the Home Exchange located at East Hampton Town Recycling Center as soon as possible," asks a new online petition created this week on Change.org by Carin Constant.

East Hampton shut down the popular spot during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic as a safety measure, but some in town are hoping it can be reinstated.

"During these recessionary economic times with rampant inflation, the Home Exchange . . . provides economic relief for many town residents," Ms. Constant wrote.

The petition can be found at this link.
