Got extra playthings your children no longer need? Tired of stepping on trinkets that have fallen by your child's wayside?

Look no farther than in Hopatcong.

and a local coffee shop are taking Toys for Tots donations. ' collection is being handled by the Jersey Jeepers, a state group for Jeep aficionados.

Hopatcong fireman Wade Crowley said Company No. 3's donations can be dropped off on Sundays from 9 a.m. to noon and Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. He said the Toys for Tots storage at Picatinny Arsenal was recently damaged due to recent bad weather.

"Most of the toys they had in storage got ruined with Hurricane Irene," Crowley said. "So now they're trying to make a big push and are going to as many locations as they can."

There is no suggested donation for either site. Each group encouraged dropping off unopened gifts.

Hopatcong Firehouse No. 3 expects to collect donations until at least Dec. 11, and perhaps beyond, Crowley said. A flyer at Dunkin Donuts said Jersey Jeepers will accept toys until Dec. 7.
