​New Clothing Bin In Berkeley To Raise Funds For Elks, Boy Scouts

BERKELEY, NJ — A new clothing donation bin in Berkeley now gives people another way to give back to the Bayville Elks Lodge and Boy Scout Troop 83.

The donation bin, located at 247 Route 9 in the parking lot of the Bayville Elks Lodge, is sponsored by the New Jersey-based company Turnkey Enterprises, which partners with nonprofit organizations and pays them by the pound for the secondhand clothing.

Revenue from donations will support the Bayville Elks Lodge and Boy Scout Troop 83.

Accepted donations include clothing, shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, blankets, sheets, pillowcases, drapes and stuffed toys. All donations are reused and will not be shredded.

Turnkey Enterprises advises people to keep donations clean and dry by securing them in plastic bags.
