Just a PSA that if anyone has any clean blankets or dog beds they’re looking to get rid of, that the shelter around the corner accepts them. It’s across from the liberty science center.

Hi everyone! 👋 Does anyone here have the monthly overnight parking permit for the Liberty State Park Light Rail station? I am thinking about getting one and have a few questions about the purchase process (when it becomes available, how quickly it sells out, etc.). If you have one and don’t mind helping, could you please send me a private message? I’d like to clarify a few doubts.

It seems they got into a resolution. Basically, you need to reinstall the app.

Hey everyone! I have 2 bags of clothes — some items are in good condition and I’d like to donate them, while others should probably go for recycling. I saw some donation/recycling bins near ShopRite and Best Buy but I’ve heard many times that some of those bins are scams. Does anyone know where I can bring the clothes? Preferably not NYC. Thanks!

I go here often in Hoboken. I recommend it to everyone. I find a lot of clothing being thrown out here at 295J rather than being donated or recycled. https://www.hobokennj.gov/resources/textile-recycling

Love this question! We usually go here; every time we've gone, there's been an employee/volunteer attendee to help collect your bags https://locations.gogreendrop.com/nj/jerseycity/
