Summit Free Market

The event will take place at the Transfer Station on upcoming Saturdays October 22nd, 29th, and November 5th, from 8 am to 3 pm. Summit residents are welcome to bring unwanted, reusable items to share, and take whatever they want. It’s all free!

October 22nd, will be a special Halloween-themed event, where a special section will be set aside for wearable costumes, decorations, and any other fall-themed household items in good condition.

The Summit Free Market is a student-run initiative planned and led by a group of Summit High School students with volunteer help on the day of the event from the Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School students. Seasonal events are held every fall and spring at the Transfer Station on New Providence Ave., in addition to the online www.summitfreemarket.org that is available year-round. To date, the Summit Free Market has saved over 46 tons of unwanted, reusable items from landfills or the incinerator since its creation in 2009.
