Chatham-Madison Spring Yard Sale
The next Chatham-Madison Town-Wide Yard Sale will be held rain or shine on Saturday, April 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Chatham Borough, Chatham Township and Madison. Once again, this popular community event features a fundraiser for the Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA).
Residents may list their sales on a digital map with a $10 tax-deductible donation to GSWA by visiting: greatswamp.org/event/yard-sale-april-2022/
The GSWA and the three towns will publicize the map extensively through their media outlets. Previous yard sales have attracted hundreds of shoppers from PA, NY and all over NJ. The spring 2021 event featured 110 household sales with hundreds of items changing hands, raising $1,100 for the GSWA.
This event is open and free for all residents of the three towns. You don’t need a permit or other official registration. You don’t need to join the digital map to take part (although it is a good way to attract buyers, particularly if you list the available items). You don’t need to pay to advertise your sale anywhere else, the marketing is extensive, but can if you want to. Put signs in your neighborhood to help buyers find your event on the morning of the sale.
Homeowners can arrange pickups of sale leftovers by contacting the following nonprofits: Vietnam Veterans of America (vva.org), Lupus Foundation of American (Lupuspickup.org), GreenDrop (gogreendrop.com), Market Street Mission – clothing only (marketstreet.org), and Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore (morrisrestore.org/donate)does some pickups; it accepts antiques, furniture, flooring, brand new plumbing, painting supplies, doors and more.
