00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Swapshops are as staple in communities throughout the state, a

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: place where you can get rid of clutter and maybe

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: find a hidden gem or two, all while giving back

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: to your community. Mary Ellen is here at the Watertown

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: to waste.

7
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,680

Speaker 1: Watertown Recycle Center, which was closed throughout the year because

14
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: of the trash strike. Inventory is short because of the strike,

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,480
