Curbside Freecycling Is April 23 & 24 in East Brunswick

Curbside Freecycling in East Brunswick is back for Spring 2022. It will take place Saturday and Sunday, April 23 and 24, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at curbs, driveways and yards across the township. Township residents can participate one or both days.

Curbside Freecycling, sponsored by the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission, enables residents to give away usable castoffs , rather than sending them to landfills. All items must be offered for free.

Residents can register their addresses and the types of items they are offering for free online at friendsebec.com or clicking this link. Registration deadline is 6 p.m., Thursday, April 21. A map showing the locations of participating households will be published online prior to 9 a.m., April 23. Only East Brunswick addresses will be shown on the map.

Recommended items for freecycling include clothing, shoes, bicycles, dishes, pots and pans, toys, silverware, small appliances, tools, power tools, kitchen items, garage items, electronics, pet supplies and small furniture. Boxed toys, games and anything with small parts should be taped shut.

The following safety guidelines must be observed:

• Follow all traffic rules; cars must be parked legally.
• Items are not for resale. Freecycling is an exchange of items for personal use.
• Though not required, be respectful of requests for mask wearing or social distancing when browsing.

At the end of the event, remaining items are the responsibility of the owner and must be properly removed or disposed of in accordance with township regulations. For questions, send email to friends.ebec@gmail.com or go online to friendsebec.com.
