Tenafly council interested in a sports‑equipment recycling bin pilot, staff to get details
Summary
Council discussed a request from a nonprofit, Gear Give, to place a sports‑equipment recycling bin at a town park and noted the organization offered to pay a placement fee; council asked staff to gather logistics and financial terms.
An administrator reported receiving an email from Gear Give proposing a sports‑equipment recycling bin at one of Tenafly’s parks; the organization indicated it would pay the municipality a placement fee. Councilmembers responded positively to the idea in concept and asked staff to follow up on logistics, location (park vs. recycling center), and the proposed payment or rental structure.
Council members suggested locating the bin at the recycling center or an out‑of‑the‑way park location rather than in high‑traffic historic park space, and asked staff to contact Gear Give to determine the fee model (rental vs. revenue‑share) and collection logistics. The council did not make a formal decision but asked the administrator to return with more information.
No public commenters spoke on this item during the meeting. The administrator said she would gather details and report back to the council.
