You Can Donate Electronics, Sporting Goods At Summit's Free Market

SUMMIT, NJ — The Summit Free Market will be open for an additional weekday event on Thursday, Oct. 27, allowing residents to donate their gently-used goods.

The market will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Transfer Station located at 40 New Providence Avenue. After requests from members of the community to open the building during the week, the temporary weekday hours will be staffed by volunteers.

The Summit Free Market Committee is a student-led, volunteer-run initiative that hosts monthly events at the Transfer Station on the second Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Residents can bring reusable, yard-sale quality items to share, and take whatever they may want or need at no charge.

Since its inception in 2008, the Summit Free Market has served more than 5000 residents and has kept over 165 tons of reusable material from the waste stream, according to the City.

Residents must have a permit to access the Transfer Station to attend. Permits can be purchased online through the City of Summit Parking Services Agency.

Citizens are asked to follow these guidelines from the Summit Free Market Committee when donating items. You can visit the Summit Free Market website for more information.
