Clear timingFor sales and notices, include the date, starting time, ending time and rain date when one applies.

Listings may include cars, motorcycles, trucks, vans, bicycles, recreational equipment and lawful replacement parts or accessories. Include the year, make, model, condition, mileage or hours where applicable, asking price and title status when relevant.
Transaction reminder: NJTGO is an advertising and information platform, not a dealer, broker, inspection service or payment processor. Buyers and sellers are responsible for ownership verification, registration, insurance, inspection, recalls, taxes and lawful transfer requirements.
Garage, Yard, Moving & Estate Sales
A useful sale notice should include the sale type, date, hours, rain date, neighborhood or street, a brief description of featured items and any important parking or access considerations.
Education, Tutors & Lessons
Postings may cover tutoring, music instruction, art lessons, language practice, academic support, technology help, trade instruction and other lawful educational services. Providers should describe qualifications accurately and avoid guarantees of grades, admission, certification or employment.
Lost & Found
Include the approximate date and area where an item was lost or found, a general description and a safe contact method. Withhold one identifying detail so ownership can be confirmed privately.
Sensitive property: Found identification, financial cards, medication, keys, weapons or potentially dangerous items should be handled through the appropriate issuing organization or local authorities rather than through a public classified exchange.
Pets & Animal Notices
Pet-related posts may include lost-and-found alerts, local pet services, pet remembrance notices and carefully reviewed rehoming requests. Include the animal’s description, age when known, temperament, relevant health information and a responsible contact method.
Animal welfare: NJTGO may reject listings that appear unsafe, deceptive, commercial in nature or inconsistent with humane placement. Verify the person, animal and arrangement before exchanging money or personal information.
Celebrations, Weddings & Milestones
Families and organizations may ask about posting engagements, weddings, anniversaries, births, graduations, milestone birthdays, reunions and similar announcements. Obtain permission before publishing another person’s name, photograph or personal details.
Local Business Opportunities
This section may include short-term vendor needs, local partnership requests, equipment wanted, businesses seeking a specific service and other clearly described opportunities. General business promotion belongs in the Glen Ridge Business & Shopping directory or the NJTGO advertising program.
No deceptive recruiting: Listings may not use misleading income claims, pyramid-style recruitment, undisclosed fees or vague “work from home” offers.
Roommates & Shared Housing
Roommate and shared-housing notices may be considered when they provide clear, lawful terms and comply with applicable fair-housing requirements. Listings must not include discriminatory preferences based on protected characteristics.
Full housing listings: Homes for sale, full property rentals, broker services and other real-estate advertising belong on the
Glen Ridge Real Estate page.
Memorials & Remembrances
Respectful notices may include memorial messages, funeral-service information and family-approved remembrance messages. Confirm all dates, locations and wording before submission.
Wanted & Free
Use this section to request a specific item, seek a local service or offer useful goods at no charge. State what is wanted or available, the approximate condition, whether transportation is needed and the general geographic area involved.
Classified Safety Guide
Meet thoughtfullyUse a public, well-lit location when practical. Tell another person where you are going and avoid unnecessary home access.
Inspect before payingExamine the actual item and confirm serial numbers or documents when relevant rather than relying only on photographs or messages.
Reject payment tricksBe cautious about overpayments, fake checks, gift cards, cryptocurrency demands, unusual shipping arrangements or refund requests.
Protect personal dataDo not provide banking passwords, verification codes, Social Security numbers or identity-document copies to an unknown buyer or seller.
Watch for pressureStop the transaction when details keep changing, the price is implausible, identity cannot be verified or artificial urgency is being created.
Use official channels when neededFor immediate danger, suspected theft, fraud in progress or threatening behavior, contact the appropriate authorities.
