Giveaway days
Giveaway Days are specific days when you can put things you do not want any more on your curb that someone else might like or need. Giveaway Days happen a few times each year. Sign up for collection reminders to know when Giveaway Days are happening.
What to put out
Only set out appropriate items that others might want.
Baby walkers, cribs, car seats, strollers, playpens, bath seats, mattresses, blinds and toys. The Consumer Product Safety Bureau of Health Canada provides a list of items that should not be given away.
- Place items at the curb in front of your home.
- Place stickers or signs on the items with the word ‘FREE.'
- Ensure any items that you do not want taken are kept away from items placed at the curb.
- At the end of the day, bring any uncollected items back into your home. We will not collect unwanted items left at the curb. Consider donating them to a local charity.
- Respect other people's property: don't walk on lawns or gardens.
- Take only the items that are marked ‘FREE' and placed at the curb.
- Don't leave previously picked up items on the curb at other people's property.
Remember, if your things are not picked up by 6 p.m. on Giveaway Day bring them back inside. We will not take things left at the curb after that, and you might get a fine. If you do not want your things, donate them instead.
