Giveaway Days

Reduce waste and give old items a new life during spring and fall Giveaway Days.

Get rid of unwanted items and find new-to-you treasures during Giveaway Days, happening Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22.

All residents are invited to place unwanted household items still in good condition on the curb in front of their homes for others to take. This is a great opportunity to give old items a new life and reduce waste. 

Residents can place their giveaway items at the curb or road in front of their homes and label them with stickers or signs to indicate they are free. Ensure to keep items not part of Giveaway Day separate from the giveaway items. Uncollected items should be removed from the curb by the end of day Sunday, Oct. 22, to avoid fines from bylaw enforcement. 

Appropriate items to give away include:

  • DVDs
  • Books
  • Furniture
  • Small appliances
  • Kitchen items
  • Construction materials, including hardware, lumber and drywall

The Consumer Product Safety Directorate of Health Canada advises against including cribs, car seats, strollers, bath seats and playpens to avoid unsafe use.
