HOBOKEN, NJ — The city's first gate sale was such a success in spring, it's coming back for fall.

The event will be held again this Saturday, with residents selling all kinds of items around Church Square Park in the center of town, as well as on their stoops and yards.

More than 150 sellers will offer their items around town from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

"The citywide event gives residents the opportunity to sell gently used, secondhand items directly from their gates or stoops, or from Church Square Park to help promote reuse, reduce waste, and give household items a second life," the city said.

Mayor Emily Jabbour said, “After the tremendous positive feedback from our first citywide gate sale, we’re excited to bring this community event back by popular demand. The gate sale is a fun way for neighbors to connect, find new homes for items they no longer need, and support reuse right here in Hoboken."

Officials noted that the sale also supports the Climate Action Plan’s focus on sustainable consumption and community engagement as strategies for lowering Hoboken’s greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing waste is a component of the City’s Climate Action Plan, which aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero energy by 2030.

"Materials sent to landfills decompose and release greenhouse gases such as methane. In Hoboken, solid waste accounts for approximately 5 percent of the community’s greenhouse gas emissions, which total roughly 161,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year," the city said. "By extending the life of gently used household items and clothing through reuse, residents can help reduce emissions associated with waste."
