Borough of Woodland Park

Used Bicycles and Sewing Machines will be collected at Passaic County’s annual event on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 9 am to 12 pm rain or shine at the Woodland Park Borough Hall Complex Parking Lot located at 5 Brophy Lane, Woodland Park, NJ. Teaming up with the non-profit group, Pedals for Progress &amp; Sewing Peace (P4P), the Passaic County Office of Solid Waste &amp; Recycling Programs hopes to collect a significant number of used bicycles and sewing machines to keep them out of the landfill and give adults in developing countries in Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe the opportunity to earn a living.
Accepted are bikes in good condition, as well as those in need of repair and/or with flat tires. Not accepted are bikes with rust, and children’s tricycles. Also, sewing machines must be portable and in working condition. All donated items are tax deductible and a receipt for the value of the items will be provided on site if requested.
P4P collects thousands of bicycles and sewing machines that are shipped overseas where they are reconditioned and distributed to the working poor. The bicycles provide reliable transportation to jobs, and the sewing machines enable steady employment. Pedals for Progress is a 501 (c)(3) corporation and a registered charity. For further information about the collection event, please call the Passaic County Office of Solid Waste &amp; Recycling Programs at (973) 305-5738.

Ringwood Park & Ride

On Sunday, May 31, 2026 the Passaic County Office of Solid Waste &amp; Recycling Programs will be sponsoring its Spring Compost Bin and Rain Barrel Sale open to all (no county residency required) at the Ringwood Park &amp; Ride located at 30 Cannici Drive from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, rain or shine. Composting is nature’s way of recycling by turning your vegetative kitchen scraps, coffee grinds, tea bags, grass clippings, brown leaves and dead garden plants into rich organic compost. This compost can be used in your vegetable and/or flower gardens while keeping the unwanted material out of the landfill. Rain barrels, which enable the collection of water for reuse around your garden, are also for sale. 

To purchase a compost bin, rain barrel, or other accessory items and ensure their availability the day of the sale, please visit Passaic County’s online store at <a href="https://www.passaic.compostersale.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.passaic.compostersale.com</a> where the renowned Earth Machine Compost Bin will be available at a special price of $69.95 (50% off the retail price), as well as rain barrels for $79.95. These items make great gifts, and just in time for Father’s Day! Other items for sale include kitchen scrap buckets, aerators, chicken-wire style holding bins, and more. Tips on how to compost, as well as on how to utilize a rain barrel effectively to conserve water will be provided at the event. For further information, please call the County of Passaic Office of Solid Waste &amp; Recycling Programs at (973) 305-5738.

Acting Out: Improv Group Style 
9 -10:15 a.m.,&nbsp; Life Hall room 1200 
Crowd Source Acting is about using improvisation to act in the moment. 
Participants will be guided in an improvisational game that allows them 
to experience dropping into a roll and having the inspiration of those 
around them to achieve a common goal. That goal could be silly, serious,
 or absurd. Join us for a round or two of a game called Family 
Portraits, guided by Theatre department practitioners.

This digital photography workshop will start with a presentation on the 
powerful choices available for capturing and documenting the world with

The Montclair State University West African Drumming and Dance Ensemble 
will perform and engage everyone to participate in traditional West 
African recreational music. We play a strong weave of polyrhythms on 
traditional drums, bells and rattles, and those in attendance will drum 
with us, sing with us in call and response in a West African language, 
and dance traditional movements with us, directed by calls from the lead
 drum. 
Let’s Get Physical: Writing Poetry about Memory and the Body 
4:30-5:45 p.m. Feliciano School of Business Room 140

embodied experiences. Participants will leave this workshop having 
written two new poems and having received feedback on one of the poems. 
They will also leave with a few additional tools in their writers’ 
toolbox.
