Classifieds & Community Marketplace

Netcong classifieds are designed for community-scale buying and selling, wanted and free items, garage and yard sales, neighborhood notices, lost-and-found posts, pet notices, lessons, celebrations and other appropriate personal listings.

Jobs, full property advertising and recurring commercial promotion belong on Netcong's dedicated Jobs, Real Estate and Business pages rather than in the general classifieds feed.

Animal Control

For animal-control inquiries and reports, call Netcong Police at 973-347-8642.

Marketplace safety

Meet Safely

Use a well-lit public location when practical, especially when meeting someone you do not know.

Protect Personal Information

Do not publish Social Security numbers, banking details, full identity documents or unnecessary private information.

Verify Ownership

For vehicles, electronics and higher-value items, confirm ownership and serial/title information before completing a transaction.

Beware of Payment Scams

Be suspicious of overpayment checks, gift-card requests, cryptocurrency demands and buyers who insist on unusual refund arrangements.

Use Accurate Descriptions

Describe condition, defects, dimensions and other material facts accurately and use current photographs when a listing is posted.

Follow Local Rules

Garage-sale permits, parking, signage, animal rules and other municipal requirements still apply even when an ad appears online.

What NJTGO classifieds will not accept

To keep the marketplace useful and appropriate for a town-guide audience, NJTGO may reject, edit or remove listings that are unsafe, unlawful, deceptive or better suited to another section.

Businesses and employers have dedicated options. Recurring commercial promotion belongs on Business & Shopping or in a paid NJTGO placement. Employment openings belong on the Netcong Jobs page.

Submitting a Netcong classified

A useful submission should include a concise title, category, accurate description, approximate Netcong location, asking price if applicable, and safe contact information. Garage-sale ads should include the sale date and hours after the borough permit has been obtained.

Be Specific

Include condition, size, quantity, model or other details that help another resident decide whether to contact you.

Keep It Local

Submissions should have a genuine connection to Netcong or the immediate surrounding area.

Update NJTGO

Once an item is sold, found or no longer available, request removal so the marketplace remains current.
