Town-Wide Yard Sale Returns To Chatham, Madison

CHATHAM, NJ —Do you need to clear out things you no longer need in your home? Are you a shopper who is always looking for a good deal? Mark your calendar: the Madison and Chathams' town-wide yard sale is coming up this month.

The yard sale includes homes in Chatham Township, Borough and Madison. The sale will be held rain or shine on Sept. 30 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This event is a fundraiser for the Great Swamp Watershed Association. Residents can list their sales on a digital map for a $10 tax-deductible donation to the Great Swamp Watershed Association.

Chatham and Madison residents are still able to hold sales without registering. But paying the registration fee gets your home on the yard sale map.

According to officials, the Great Swamp Watershed Association will compile a list of participating homes before the event and create a digital map on Sept. 29 to help people find the sales.

According to the Great Swamp Watershed Association, the town-wide sales have drawn visitors from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania for the past three years.

“For those keeping score—and we are—the past three Town-Wide Yard Sales have raised over $3000 for our environmental work,” said Valerie Thorpe, Director of Communications and Membership at GSWA.
